Voters have slashed their core support for federal Labor to a new low of 27 per cent amid a deepening dispute over the cost of living, backing the Coalition to deliver more help to households over the next three years.
In a rebuff to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the latest Resolve Political Monitor shows that 56 per cent of voters have rejected his new message on the economy – “we have your back” – after years of pressure on family budgets.
The survey also reveals that 59 per cent of voters believe they are worse off than when Labor came to power at the last election, with only 13 per cent feeling better off.
Asked to name the party and leader most likely to make them better off over the next three years, Australians backed Dutton and the Coalition over Albanese and Labor by 36 to 27 per cent.

Meanwhile, the latest Newspoll published by The Australian, also spelled trouble for Labor, with Albanese found to be the weakest prime minister Australia has seen in the 16 years the poll has tracked the “strong and decisive” rating.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is considered to be the stronger and more decisive leader, according to the poll.
However, Albanese was still ranked as less arrogant than Dutton and remains the preferred prime minister.
