Hey Kids, I’d nearly forgotten, but it’s an Essential polling Tuesday! essentialvision.com.au
Let’s see what we can find. As usual, this polling was done Wed–Sun and the margin of error on top-line figures is around ±3 percentage points. Here we go...

No real change here, bu the “unsure” figure is still quite high at 25%.

No change.
