A Newspoll out today shows the Government has not secured its expected bounce from last week's widely hyped budget. In fact the bounce went against the government, displaying the maturity of voters when faced with smoke and mirrors.
On the two-party-preferred vote, Labor has climbed 2 percentage points to 59 per cent, while the Government has fallen 2 points to 41 per cent.
Labor's primary vote is up 2 points to 50 per cent and Mr Rudd has climbed 3 points to 49 per cent, while Mr Howard is down 2 points to 37 per cent.
Greens leader Bob Brown today said the latest Newspoll showed voters supported Mr Rudd's approach to industrial relations.
He called on Mr Rudd not to be swayed by aggressive campaigns by big business wanting the Work Choices system kept in place.
"Those opinion polls give a very strong message to Kevin Rudd - stick with your policy on industrial relations," Senator Brown told reporters.
"The position Labor has is valued and it shouldn't be eroded by campaigns from the big end of town and from (Prime Minister) John Howard and his ministers."
