The coalition’s primary vote in Western Australia now sits at 50 per cent, a Newspoll has found.
The Newspoll found the coalition’s primary vote now sits at 50 per cent – its best result since the 2008 election.
While the coalition has risen two points since July/September, Labor’s primary vote remains the same at 29 per cent.
The Greens are down one point to 12 per cent during the same period.
Mr Barnett now holds the biggest lead as premier over any other opposition leader, The Australian reported on Friday.
The poll, conducted between October and December last year, found that 59 per cent of West Australians believe Mr Barnett is the better premier, compared to 18 per cent who back Labor leader Eric Ripper.
Mr Barnett is up three points from July/September, while Mr Ripper has slipped four points.
When it comes to voter satisfaction with the two leaders, Mr Barnett is out in front at 58 per cent, up seven points, while Mr Ripper remains the same at 34.
In the two-party preferred stakes, the coalition has been given a two-point boost to 59 per cent – its best result since 2008.
It has increased its lead over Labor, which has slipped two points to 41.
The Newspoll came as Mr Barnett declared he had lost all faith in the federal government.
He said the Gillard government’s decision to withdraw from an in-principle agreement to help states pay native title settlements would leave WA $200 million out of pocket for agreements settled so far.
‘You have got a situation now where I don’t trust the commonwealth,’ he told The Australian.
‘To simply walk away from it has disappointed me more than any other act by a prime minister in my political life.’
Prime Minister Julia Gillard reportedly wrote to Mr Barnett eight months ago to say she was under no obligation to pay 75 per cent of all native title settlements between the WA government and Aborigines.
