Australian Politics Forum - Poll: Majority support Iraq decision

Armchair_Politician Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 29944 Gender:	Poll: Majority support Iraq decision Sep 9^th, 2014 at 2:44pm A poll of around 1200 people has found that the majority are supportive of the Abbott governments' decisions relating to IS and Iraq. This news will further isolate the lunatic Greens and their supporters, as if they weren't already alone enough!

Howard was the same for much of his time in the big chair. and if to underline the value of this poll value, remember that Rudd has huge popularity.

now... what was that connection between popularity and effectiveness again????? hmmmm?????

But still, it wouldn't be a surprise if it were representative. People are disturbed about this IS mob. However, dropping arms to the good guys is one thing, putting advisers on the ground anywhere west of Perth is another.

when he was opposition lead the Bulleting Mag ran an article 'Mr 18%.. why does this man bother?' I remember it because he became australias seoncd-longest serving PM. Personal popularity is not a very important measure. surely the Rudd experience sould have made that abundantly clear.

The LNP was in negative poll support for most of Johnny’s terms, he managed to bribe enough to wine the elections, until he overstepped the mark with WorkChoices. That isn’t the same as saying his approvals were mostly negative—I call bulldust on that!
