The recovery in Bill Shorten’s personal ratings from the previous poll has proved to be short-lived, but there’s otherwise very little change to report from the latest Newspoll.

A progressively updated post reporting on the campaign for the Canning by-election. LATEST UPDATE (3/9): Two more privately commissioned polls confirm the pollsters’ previous results in showing the Liberals with a lead of 51-49.

No change whatsoever in this week’s reading of the BludgerTrack poll aggregate, the most interesting feature of which for the moment is that the Palmer United vote is finally edging back upwards.

Moore is a safe Liberal seat in Perth’s northern coastal suburban corridor, where current member Ian Goodenough replaced noted party moderate Mal Washer on his retirement in 2013.

No surprises in the latest monthly Morgan state polls, with incumbents in New South Wales and Victoria enjoying strong leads in the wake of recent election victories, and tighter races in the other mainland states.

A return to the norm after a somewhat surprising result last week from Essential Research, which also finds the Liberal Party perceived as much further to the right than Labor is to the left, and the ABC’s Q&A program to be a lot more popular than Tony Abbott.

A new poll from ReachTEL is their third in a month to show Labor with a two-party lead of 53-47.

Further improvement for Bill Shorten in this week’s aggregated poll readings, but some of the gloss has come off the sizeable lead Labor opened up last week on voting intention.

Following last week’s publication of draft redistribution boundaries, Seat of the Week watchers can brace themselves for an avalanche of action from Western Australia. First stop: Dennis Jensen’s safe Liberal seat of Tangney in southern Perth.

Little change in voting intention, but Bill Shorten bounces back from his low base and takes the lead as preferred prime ministers.
