Abbott already more unpopular than Gillard

Abbott's lying demolition of the Gillard Labor gov was very effective. He was after all, always known as Howard's attack dog. It appears that's about the only thing he was good at, as since gaining gov he's been an unmitigated disaster. 

His polls continue to free fall, taking his party with it. They must be having a panic attack in the Lieberal bunker with how so completely he's destroyed himself in only a short space of time. It's so bad surely something has to give. The Liberals can't just stand by and watch him trash their party name into the dirt. Even without an election, surely the Lieberals have to act soon for their own good?

Here we have the unpopularity of Abbott now, as compared to the unpopularity of Gillard when Rudd finally turfed her. Abbott is worse than Gillard ever was, by a good deal. And in only 10 months he's done this.

 

On the key issue of trustworthiness, Abbott has already managed to outdo Gillard's rating of just 30 per cent. 

Where she arrived after a relentless internal destabilisation and a sustained attack on her credibility over a couple of years, Abbott has turned up on the occasion of his first budget. 

And while they're neck and neck on trust deficiency, Abbott is well behind where Gillard was before her final political execution on a number of other measures. He is considered more out of touch with ordinary people; more intolerant, less intelligent, and much more arrogant. more
