The Sydney Morning Herald today shows first preferences for the ALP up 14 percent to 47 percent after the leadership change. The Greens are down 7 percent. On a 2 Party Preferred it would be 55 to the ALP and 45 to the Opposition. On these figures Labor would romp home.  The Gordon Brown effect maybe? Gillard must be tempted to go very soon. Perhaps in August before the footy finals begin? ‘To legitimise my leadership and give us a fresh mandate’ no doubt.
