Australia revealed: Punters pals
|
It’s time for the race that stops the nation. The federal election. And that other race that stops the nation, too. Today, we thought we’d drilling down into data from Roy Morgan Research to see which politicians are the punters’ pals – to see how the race-going public votes and compare their voting intentions with people who chose other entertainment options. Surprise, surprise. Our Roy Morgan Top 25 finds Victorians seem to like the races. New South Welshmen would rather go down to the RSL. Crikey’s key seats – the 49 seats we believe will decide the federal election are marked with an asterisk. More details are available from Electorate Profiles on the Roy Morgan Online Store.
