Australia’s Labor Party Poised to Win Second Term Amidst Global Anti-Trump Sentiment
Two polls indicate Australia’s Labor party is poised to win the national election, potentially securing a majority government. A RedBridge-Accent poll shows Labor leading the Liberal-National coalition by 53% to 47%, with a surge in support from younger voters. Concerns about President Trump’s policies significantly influenced Australian voters, while opposition plans for nuclear power plants also proved unpopular. A YouGov poll further predicts a Labor majority, potentially securing up to 85 seats in the Lower House.
