After a three month break due to the paucity of polls post-election, Curia’s regular monthly newsletter returns.

The average of the public polls has National a massive 27% ahead of Labour and easily able to govern alone. The gap at the election was 11%.

Australia sees Labor on 60.5% for a 22% lead.

In the United States Barack Obama has a net positive rating of 31% and we compare this to Bush and Clinton in their first 100 days.

The UK Labour Party is 14% behind the Conservatives who are projected to have a 1000 seat majority on these results.

In Canada the Conservatives are down to 34%, just 2% ahead of the Liberals.

We also carry details of polls in NZ. There are details of polls on job sentiment, the Labour leadership, relationships and the Government’s handling of the recession.

A new feature this month compares the right vs wrong direction poll ratings for New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the US and the UK. There is a massive difference between countries.

1000 seat majority. Sounds good – but is it a typo?

What do you mean “able to govern alone? We had an election, they get to govern regardless of what the polls say now just like labour did.

This what would happen if we had an election tomorrow stuff is for election run ups, not in the first couple of months.

Little visit from Doc Freud there I think Paul.

Suck it up, Sonic, Bork Bork, Mickey Savage, Irish Bill, The girl Rochelle that was filled with Traitor Juice.

Must feel fucking good to know that your wine stealing antics have resonated so well with the electorate.

Frankly they mainly hate you and the commie greens.

Restrict our showers, stop us disciplining our children, and tax us for everything else.

Cullen is a front bottom, and a smelly one at that!

According to Rassmussen in the US, the Messiah has a plus 6% rating, which put him below Dubya at the equivalent stage in his presidency.
And opposition to his socialism is becoming so great, the Messiah might be forced to take a ‘cup of tea’ as it were.
But that would be something to party over!

The Queensland result is going to be interesting. Labour has a massive majority and were considered shoe-ins when the election was called. On the lastest polls the LCP is now ahead 51/49 on the two party preferred poll.

Seems the ‘Lady’ Premier is paying the price for her arrogance and incompetence.

It happens to arrogant Labour Premiers … we know.
