Anthony Albanese is experiencing a post-election boost not seen since Kevin Rudd was elected in 2007, with the prime minister’s net approval rating up 40 points since Labor’s victory last month.
The first Guardian Essential poll since the 21 May election shows 59% of voters approve of the job Albanese is doing as prime minister, including 19% who “strongly approve”, compared with just 18% who do not. About one in four (23%) say they don’t know.
