Australia’s Opposition leader is edging ahead in the polls amid growing economic concerns. 

A national Resolve poll saw Peter Dutton eclipse Anthony Albanese as preferred Prime Minister for the first time, backed by 36% of voters compared to Albanese’s 35%. 

Australia Correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge support for the Coalition lifted from 36% to 38%, while Labour remains on 28%. 

She said that it’s the lowest level since Albanese took power at the last election in 2022.
