Channel Four Live Cam

Thursday 1 August, 2.00pm

Good afternoon, Jean Acheson with you, and an Aztec poll conducted exclusively for the Live Cam overnight shows the Lansdowne government edging one point closer to the opposition.

Aztec now puts two-party-preferred support for the government at 49 per cent, just two points behind the opposition on 51. And so, just nine days out from the election, the contenders are virtually neck and neck.

Along with the continuing turnaround in the government’s fortunes, Aztec also shows an improvement in Prime Minister Lansdowne’s personal standing among voters.

He’s now just four points behind Opposition Leader Lou Feeney, who’s said to have been somewhat listless on the campaign trail this week. I’m Jean Acheson. Back with more in a moment.
