ALP support plunges 2% after breaking promise on Stage 3 tax cuts: ALP 50.5% cf. L-NP 49.5%
Labor Government support plunged 2% to 50.5% this week after the Government broke its promise not to change the Stage 3 tax cuts and is now just ahead of the Coalition on 49.5% (up 2%) on a two-party preferred according to the latest Roy Morgan survey on Federal voting intention.
If this week’s result was repeated at a Federal Election held now we would have a hung parliament with the balance of power held by minor parties and independents.
ALP primary support dropped 1.5% to 31% while Coalition support increased 1.5% to 37.5%.
The Greens increased 0.5% to 13% and One Nation increased 0.5% to 5%. Support for Independents & Other Parties was down 1% to 13%.
The latest Roy Morgan survey is based on interviewing a representative cross-section of 1,688 Australian electors from January 22-28, 2024.
Further details will be released in Roy Morgan’s weekly video update presented by Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine.

Margin of Error
The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. Margin of error gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
