Malcolm Turnbull will mark his first anniversary as prime minister with a worse approval rating than Bill Shorten, according to the latest Newspoll published in the Australian. Based on preference flows from the July election, the two-party-preferred vote is unchanged at 50-50. The dissatisfaction with Turnbull’s performance grew one point to a new high of 53% and has more than doubled over his 12 months as leader. His net satisfaction rating – the difference between those who are satisfied and those who are dissatisfied – has reached a low of minus 19 points, a huge drop from his honeymoon peak of 38 points. He continues to trail Shorten, who sits on a net satisfaction rating of minus 17 points.
