MELBOURNE - Australia’s opposition Labor Party retained a narrow lead over the conservative coalition government, a closely watched poll showed on Monday, while the Labor’s leader popularity hit a four-year high days ahead of a general election.
Based on the poll, Labor would end up with 77 seats in Australia’s lower house, above the 76 needed to form government, against 68 for the coalition and 6 for other parties. Currently, Labor holds 69, the coalition 73 and other parties 8. The Newspoll showed voters’ net approval of Labor leader Bill Shorten climbed eight points to his highest since March 2015, although his rating still trails Morrison’s, by 10 points.
