2011 Outlook – Political Parties

Q. Do you think 2011 will be a good or bad year for each of the following political parties?

	Total good	Total poor	Very good	Good	Neither good nor bad	Bad	Very bad	Don’t know
The Liberal Party	35%	18%	7%	28%	34%	14%	4%	13%
The Labor Party	19%	40%	4%	15%	29%	29%	11%	12%
The Greens	22%	29%	4%	18%	35%	16%	13%	14%

Respondents expect that 2011 is likely to be a good year for the Liberal Party (35% good/18% bad) and a bad year for the Labor Party (19%/40%).

Comparing these results with last week’s questions about 2010, respondents expect the Liberal Party to have a better year  – 2010 33% good/27% bad compared to 2011 35%/18%.

Also, although the Greens were assessed to have had a good 2010 (42% good/21% bad) expectations are not so positive for 2011 (22%/29%).
