SYDNEY - Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is on course for defeat at this weekend’s national election, a political poll showed on Friday, as campaigning ahead of the ballot was overshadowed by the death one of the country’s most beloved former leaders.
An Ipsos poll for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age newspapers shows Australia’s Labor ahead of Morrison’s coalition government by a margin of 51-49 on a two-party preferred basis where votes are distributed until a winner is declared. Labor, which lost the last two elections in 2013 and 2016, has promised to match the government’s 2019-20 surplus and then deliver a bigger surplus in 2020-21.
