There is no runaway winner for this year's federal election as poll show the country is split on Prime Minister Support. While many Australians show strong support for the federal coalition, recent polls reveal that they are still divided on who should lead the country all together.

Federal elections are set on September 14 thus the heightened interest over candidates. The government failed recently to secure a solid support following its announcement of the budget rises. The Labor, on the other hand, remains with an underdog status.

The primary vote for the Labor party is at 31 percent whereas the coalition lost a percent of its backing leading to 46 percent according to Newspoll. There was a slight ray of hope for the incumbent Prime Minister as Julia Gillard obtained higher personal support.

According to polls, Gillard has around 39 percent backing just trailing after Opposition Leader Tony Abbott who has 40 percent. These two are still competing closely for the nation's next preferred leader.

The same stiff competition was published under the Fairfax-Nielsen poll. Gillard and Abbott record 46 percent respectively. The results were eight percent better for Gillard whose ratings dropped in April. The same survey revealed increasing primary vote for the Labor. They are up by three points to 32 percent since April. Coalition lost 5 percent, bringing their primary vote from 49 percent to 44.

In terms of two-party preferred basis, coalition leads both polls, 54-46 (Nielsen) and 56-44 (Newspoll.). If the election will have the same results, the coalition will be victorious.
