Two new opinion polls haven1 been published today with stark2 differences in projected outcomes for the upcoming federal election. The newspoll in the Australian Newspaper says the coalition3 has regained4 ground following last week's budget and is now in striking distance of Labor5. While the Ipsos poll in The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald6 finds the government's position has actually deteriorated7 since the last survey in February. The new data comes as the prime minister continues to hold off on naming the election date.
