Trouble for incumbent Australian PM Mr. Howard (federal coalition). That should also signal trouble for the US coalition on Iraq. New poll shows Labor in winning position March 28, 2004 - 2:50PM Labor is maintaining a big lead over the federal Coalition, according to the latest Morgan Poll. The poll found that in late March, primary support for the ALP dropped slightly to 45.5 per cent (down 0.5 per cent) while support for the Government rose 0.5 per cent to 39.5 per cent. On a two-party preferred basis, support for both parties had remained unchanged since the beginning of February this year, with the ALP 55.5 per cent and the coalition 44.5 per cent. "If a federal election had been held in late March, the ALP would have won easily, a poll spokesman said in a statement. More electors thought the ALP would win the next federal election - 43.5 per cent, to the Liberal-Nationals 41.5 per cent. "This is a significant shift from when [Opposition Leader] Mark Latham was elected in early December - with only 21 per cent thinking the ALP would win the next election compared with 60 per cent for the [Coalition]," the spokesman said. Among the minor parties, support for the Greens was seven per cent (down 0.5 per cent), Australian Democrats two per cent (down 0.5 per cent), One Nation one per cent (down 0.5 per cent) and other parties and Independents five per cent (up 1.5 per cent).
