Nielsen’s sample of 1400 respondents from its first poll of the year didn’t get the memo, writes William Bowe. The government has received its best Nielsen result since March last year and Julia Gillard has an eight-point improvement on net personal rating.

Nielsen: strong improvement for Gillard, modest for Labor
The latest Nielsen poll has Julia Gillard’s personal ratings up six points on approval and down five points on disapproval but Labor’s primary vote — 32 percent — is still dreadful, reports William Bowe.
Nielsen and Galaxy: slight improvements for Labor
The latest Nielsen has the Coalition leading 57-43 on two-party preferred, down from 58-42 last time. QV Galaxy poll of 1009 respondents has it at 58-42. Both present ever so slight improvements for Labor, reports William Bowe.
Nielsen: 58-42 to Coalition
Labor’s primary vote is up two points to 28% and the Coalition’s down three to 48%. Although a bad result for Labor by any measure, this is nonetheless an improvement on their last 61-39 Nielsen poll, writes William Bowe.
Nielsen: 61-39 to Coalition
The first post-carbon tax announcement poll from Nielsen, presumably conducted between Thursday to Saturday from a sample of 1400, has the Coalition’s lead out from 59-41 to 61-39, writes William Bowe.
Nielsen: 54-46 to Coalition
Fairfax’s monthly Nielsen poll has the Coalition leading 54-46, which adds to a general impression of the Coalition lead having blown out from 51-49, reports William Bowe.
Nielsen: 66-34 to Coalition in NSW
The Keneally government’s re-election hopes have taken yet another blow with the latest Nielsen poll, which replicates the seemingly unbelievable 66-34 Coalition lead indicated by the last published opinion poll from Galaxy, reports William Bowe.
Nielsen: 54-48 to Coalition
The first Nielsen poll for the year has the Coalition opening up a 54-46 lead on two-party preferred. Labor’s primary vote is 32%, with the Coalition on 46% and the Greens on 12%, writes William Bowe.
Nielsen: 51-49 to Coalition
The latest Nielsen poll sees a lean to the Coalition in the two-party preferred vote of 51-49 and Labor trailing in the primary vote, but Julia Gillard’s personal ratings remain higher at 54%, reports William Bowe.
First Nielsen of the campaign plus Westpoll marginal seat polls
The good polling news for Labor continues to pile up: the first Nielsen poll of the campaign has Labor with a two-party lead of 54-46, compared with 52-48 a fortnight ago.
Nielsen: Rudd takes another battering
The latest Nielsen poll has the Rudd government hitting a new low, with the two-party preferred now split at 50-50, while Rudd’s personal approval has collapsed 14 points to 45%.
Possum: Rudd’s honeymoon restored
This month’s Nielsen results have polling back to normal after last week’s Newspoll surprise: Rudd has taken a slight clip in the approval ratings and preferred PM, but it’s just more ebbs and flows of they type he’s experienced over the last six months.
Rudd down (slightly), but far from out
The monthly Nielsen poll further proves reports of the ALP’s death in the polls have been slightly exaggerated: Labor’s two-party lead down just slightly to 56-44, while Kevin Rudd’s approval rating is down three points and his disapproval is up five.
Internet polling comes of age
Mention “online opinion poll” and a certain Disney cartoon character with big ears and red shorts (first name Mickey) comes to mind. And for good reason. Most, particularly of the “click here to tell us what do you think?” variety are just fluff and entertainment. But there are online polls and there are online polls., writes Peter Brent.
