Electoral polls show favorable results for the Australian Labor Party after a dramatic turn of events when now Prime Minister Kevin Rudd ousted then Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

In the latest Newspoll carried out exclusively for The Australian during weekends, the Australian Labor Party moved six percentages up the notch from 29 to 35 per cent after the shift in leadership. Mr Rudd also obtained 49 per cent vote as preferred prime minister. This figure showed a 16 percentage lead over Ms Gillard's preferred ministership vote last poll with only 33 per cent.

This figure also shows that Mr Rudd was now ahead of rival Tony Abbott who only got 35 per cent votes on preferred prime minister. Votes for Mr Abott were slashed off by 10 per cent within a week as preferred prime minister. This percentage was so far the biggest plunge on Mr Abbott's votes since the beginning of the year.

Mr Rudd also obtained a satisfaction rating of 36 per cent, just equal with his dissatisfaction rating. While Mr Abbott's satisfaction rating remained 35 per cent, his dissatisfaction rating increased from 53 per cent to 56 per cent.

Although Mr Rudd's was now taking the lead as the preferred prime minister, the large percentage of the "uncommitted" voters was also noticeable. It seemed like a large percentage of voters adapted a new attitude and behavior towards Mr Rudd's leadership. Voters would like to "wait-and-see" for the meantime. There were 28 per cent of survey participants who chose not to commit on the preferred ministership poll.

The Newspoll results were in line with different electoral polls conducted after Mr Rudd reclaim of the prime minister seat. This only goes to show that the Coalition chances of winning the September election became slimmer against the Australian Labor Party and that voters' preference for prime minister had shifted towards Mr Rudd over Mr Abbott.

According to a Galaxy Poll two-party preferred vote published by News Ltd on Sunday, the Australian Labor Party got 49 per cent while the Coalition got 51 per cent. The figures were so closed showing that if indeed Alp will not win the September election, then at least it will not fatally lose behind the Coalition. This figure also showed a great improvement as compared when ALP was still under Ms. Gillard's leadership.

The Galaxy Poll also showed that voters now had their eyes set on Mr Rudd as prime minister against Mr Abbott by a margin of 51 per cent to 34 per cent.

Last Saturday, Fairfax ReachTEL Poll also reported large percentage of Sydney and Melbourne voters now shifting their votes towards ALP for the primary seats in the government. Four seats were polled and each time Mr Rudd was leading ahead of Mr Abbott in as far as better prime ministership is concerned.

In his Melbourne electorate of Maribyrnong, Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten who was vocal in his shift of loyalty towards Mr Rudd obtained an 8.6 per cent two-party preferred leads.

Speaker Anna Burke on the other hand, moved up one notch higher in her seat of Crisholm by 55.2 per cent to 44.8 per cent.
