NEWSPOLL 28 August 2021: like a screw worm fly* burrowing into the side of humanity, Scott John Morrison survives and thrives




"Coalition falls as Morrison rises" reads one News Corp headline on 30 August 2021, signalling the latest Newspoll has been published.


At least one NewsCorp journalist assigns the blame for a further fall in support for the federal Liberal-Nationals Coalition to "discontent in the two lockdown states that happen to be the largest by population and electoral weight".


The poll results are reportedly the lowest federal primary vote intention for the Coalition since March 2019 and the highest for Labor since 2018, according to AAP General News Wire.


Newspoll voting intentions of 1,528 respondents polled between 25 and 28 August 2021:
