Labor worse under Gillard than Rudd: poll

Two-thirds of voters believe the government is worse under Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s leadership than it was two years ago under her predecessor Kevin Rudd.

A new Galaxy poll, published by News Ltd on Monday, also shows that voters believe Ms Gillard has failed to deliver on climate change, border protection and sharing the wealth of the mining boom.

Ms Gillard’s broken promise not to introduce a carbon tax means 59 per cent of voters believe she has failed on climate change.

A similar number think working families are not reaping any of the benefits of the minerals boom.

And four out of five voters believe Ms Gillard has failed to stop asylum seeker boats.

The Galaxy poll of 995 people shows Labor’s primary vote is at 31 per cent, compared to the coalition’s 49 per cent.

The figures are virtually unchanged since the last Galaxy poll in April, with Labor at 44 per cent of the vote after preferences.

This represents an eight-point drop from when Ms Gillard seized the leadership on June 24, 2010.

The coalition commands 56 per cent of the vote after preferences.
