Australia's centre-left Labor likely to retain power as Trump concerns weigh, polls show

Australia's centre-left Labor government is likely to retain power in a close-run national election this weekend, two opinion polls showed on Thursday, with voters ranking U.S. President Donald Trump's policies among their top concerns. A RedBridge-Accent poll published by News Corp newspapers on Thursday showed Labor leading 53%-47% against the conservative Liberal-National coalition under Australia's two-party preferential voting system, where votes are distributed until a winner is declared. Labor could win the election in its own right or form a minority , the RedBridge poll said, marking a reversal of sentiment from February, when voters wanted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese out of office.

A Newspoll survey conducted for The Australian newspaper showed support for the Liberal-National opposition coalition has fallen below levels seen at the last election in 2022, while approval for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ticked up. The election could also deliver a hung parliament with Labor likely forming a minority , the poll said.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the potential for Australia's ruling Labor Party to retain power in the upcoming election, as indicated by recent polls. Despite facing challenges such as economic issues and internal party disputes, the Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, appears to maintain a lead over the opposition Liberal-National coalition. The polls suggest that voters are responding positively to Labor's policies on climate change, healthcare, and economic recovery, although the margin is close, and the outcome remains uncertain as the election approaches.
