[TONY Abbott is being savagely marked down by voters unimpressed with the Prime Minister’s season of overseas summits and his lavish hosting of global leaders at home. Labor is rubbing in the opinion poll pain with one senator referring to Mr Abbott as “a village idiot” on the world stage. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has jumped five points to again be preferred Prime Minister — 43 per cent to 37 per cent — according to a Newspoll published in The Australian today. The survey also found Labor had strengthened its electoral leadership 55 per cent to 45 per cent on a two-party preferred basis. These are almost exactly the same figures recorded six months ago after the May Budget — now considered one of the most unpopular economic statements in recent decades.] ~ Malcolm Farr & Jennifer Rajca.
