Just take a look at shifts in party identification numbers over the last three years, as measured by Gallup. People identifying themselves as Democrats have opened up an advantage over those identifying themselves as Republicans. And when independents who lean toward one party or another are mixed in, the lead Democrats have over Republicans grows to its widest margin since Gallup started measuring party identification in 1991. ************* Similar political tidal wave building down here. The Labor Party is way out in front of the Liberal/National coalition these days. If this trend continues, John Howard (the dessicated coconut) is going down in flames. *********** KEVIN RUDD and the Labor Party have reached unprecedented heights of popularity while support for John Howard and his Government is sliding, eight months before the election.
The latest monthly Herald/ACNielsen poll shows Labor would win easily with a two-party-preferred vote of 61 per cent to the Coalition's 39 per cent - a three-point swing to Labor over the past month.
