Budget dead cat bounce continues, despite MSM hyperventilation


So far most polls have had no bounce at all, apart from that wacky Ipsos poll that again went crazy bananas about the Lieberals putting them even at 50/50, and a Morgan poll that went 51/49 to Labor.

On top of all the other polls however Essential Research joins them in the zero sum dead cat non-bounce, posting an again unchanged result from previously. 
Australians may think the Abbott government's second budget is better than last year's but it doesn't mean voters will rush out and vote for the coalition. 

The weekly online Essential Research survey has found 45 per cent of respondents say the budget was better than last year, with just 15 per cent saying it was worse. 

Thirty-four per cent approved of the prime minister and his government's handling of the budget this time around, slightly better than the 30 per cent who approved a year ago, while just a third disapproved compared with over half in 2014. 

However, Labor still leads the coalition 52 to 48 per cent on a two-party preferred basis, unchanged from last week. 

Labor's primary vote went up one percentage point to 40 per cent. more
That's 4 polls now that I've seen that have remained completely unchanged from the budget. Morgan was up a bit citing a "clear" budget bounce, and Ipsos was in it's usually nuttiness of late. So guess what the MSM and Murdoch is reporting then? The 4 polls that say nothing has changed? Or the one poll that says 50/50?...... FFS.
