20 Dec 2010

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%).
