If you check out the Essential Report that featured in Crikey today you will learn something interesting about Tony Abbott.
You may also learn some interesting things about Julia Gillard and how a sample of Australians say they will vote - but my purpose today is to comment on Mr Abbott.
Looking at his performance over the past two years - at least according to the people who responded to the Essential poll - you would be surprised that he is still in the job.
Because his approval levels are heading the wrong way. "In January 2010 37% approved of the job he was doing - in January 2012 it is 35%".
As are his disapproval levels. "In January 2010 37% disapproved of the job he was doing - in January 2012 it is 51%".
As Australian's have gotten to know him - it seems they like him less because his "Don't Know's have gone from 26% in January 2010 to 13% in January 2012".
If ever there was a clear indicator that he is doing something wrong - then this is it. The longer he keeps at it then the worse his numbers become.
He seems to be pretty unpopular for a populist politician.
Most of us seem to have worked him out - I just wonder when his colleagues will do the same?
