Albanese's trust issues

November 9, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

It's poll Monday — and you know what that means! PK and Jacob dig into new polling showing voter trust in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has plummeted.

Only 20 per cent of voters say they trust the PM, according to the Resolve Political Monitor, while the Redbridge AFR poll has Labor support at a record low while the Coalition surges.

It's bad news for Anthony Albanese, who has delayed his trip to COP to chair key budget meetings. But as Labor searches for crucial budget savings, they've been forced to abandon the sell-off of some key defence land, as they seek to neutralise political backlash.

Patricia Karvelas and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now.
