Pick the Newspoll
The last set of figures from Newspoll, Nielsen and Morgan all suggest that things are getting closer in this federal election race. But is it just a little bit of summer madness with the Liberal/National vote soon to decline again? It seems like an appropriate time to get another opinion from readers as to their views. So what do you think the next Newspoll due out next Tuesday, will show?
Enter your best guesses of the primary vote that Newspoll will show for the major parties and others along with your estimate of the two party preferred position and the approval ratings for the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader.
We will reward the winner with a set of the magnificent First Dog on the Moon tea towels with the winner being the person closest to correct. In the event of a tie the first correct entry gets the goodies.
The scoring system is simple. If the Newspoll number is, say, 52 and you predict 52 you score 0; if 53 you get -1, for a 54 -2 etc. When we add up the wcores for all the answers the person closest to zero wins.
Good tipping.
