7NEWS Election Needle: Albanese ahead after campaign week one – The Seven Network’s 7NEWS tonight released its latest prediction from its Election Needle after the first week of the campaign, revealing a slight lean towards Anthony Albanese.
If an election were to be held today, the most probable outcome according to the 7NEWS Election Needle would be Anthony Albanese remaining Prime Minister, even in a minority government.
7NEWS Political Editor Mark Riley said:
“Labor has had the better start to this campaign. Anthony Albanese is on message and looking like he’s on his game, making announcements each day to set the agenda — Peter Dutton has been slower to start, sticking to counterpunching.”
The Needle sways based on expert analysis and data from a team of more than one dozen journalists, statisticians, political scientists, and researchers, led by veteran 7NEWS Political Editor Mark Riley, with leading political scientists Dr Simon Jackman and Dr Luke Mansillo.
The 7NEWS Election Needle indicates who is in the best position at any given moment to form government, cutting through information overload to give Australians an immediate pulse check on the upcoming Federal Election. It’s informed by weekly data of every poll across the country, collated by respected research company Painted Dog Research.
With reporters stationed in every corner of the country, Australia’s #1 news service has assembled the biggest election team in Australia to deliver the Australia’s most comprehensive election coverage.
On election night, the Needle will move in real-time to call victory between Labor Party and the Coalition first.
