Workers are losing confidence in the Albanian government as support for the coalition gains ground among tradies and TAFE-educated Australians.
The latest RedBridge poll shows that Labor votes have fallen by four percent since August, with support among working-class Aussies noticeably declining.
The poll results shed light on the possibility that the country’s rejection of the Voice to Parliament could damage Labour’s vote at the next election.
More than 60 percent of Australians voted no in the referendum, with every state and territory voting against the Voice except the ACT.
The latest RedBridge poll shows that Labor’s vote under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (pictured right with partner Jodie Haydon) has fallen by 4 percent since August, reflecting a collapse in support among Australia’s working class.
The online panel poll among 1,205 people was conducted between October 25 and November 2.
The poll found that half of Australian voters do not think the government’s priorities are right, although the same percentage think the coalition led by leader Peter Dutton is not ready to return to governing the country .
In August, RedBridge found that Labour’s primary vote was higher than the Coalition’s 39 to 28 per cent among voters at Year 12 or equivalent.
Among voters with a TAFE, trade or vocational education, Labor led the Coalition by 36 percent to 29 percent at the primary.
But the tables have turned in the latest poll, with the Coalition now leading Labor in the primaries among both demographic groups.
Among voters with a Year 12 or equivalent education, the coalition now leads Labor by 37 percent to 28 percent in the primaries.
For voters with a TAFE, trade or vocational education, the Coalition leads 35 to 33 percent.
Labor’s primary vote has improved marginally among tertiary-educated Australians, from 40 percent to 41 percent since the referendum.

Meanwhile, the Coalition’s share of voters with a university degree has fallen from 34 percent to 31 percent.
The referendum also appears to have led to a drop in Labour’s primary vote among people aged 35 to 49, causing headaches for the Albanian government.
In October, Labour’s primary vote among this age group was 41 percent compared to the Coalition’s 26 percent, but last week’s poll showed the two tied on 32 percent.
The government leads the opposition 53.5 percent to 46.5 percent, on a two-party basis.
However, this has fallen from the 55.6 percent lead to 44.4 percent that Labor held in August.
“The honeymoon is over for Anthony Albanese and he is now sleeping on the couch,” RedBridge director Tony Barry told the channel. Daily telegram.
“The only thing holding the dam wall back right now is that a majority of voters don’t believe the coalition is ready for government,” he said, referring to the poll’s findings that only 30 percent of voters think the coalition is ready is for a government. up to 50 percent who think it is not ready yet.
