A beautiful set of numbers

While Essential Poll seems strangely, persistently, stuck on a 2 party preferred vote of 52/48 in favour of Labor (when other polls are showing clearer post-Budget away from the Coalition), this table from today's poll gives me encouragement that my take on Tony Abbott is gaining more popularity with the Australian public.  It is very amusing to look at the downwards trajectory of several of the assessments:

Bill Shorten, on the other hand, has been on the upwards trajectory.  Essential notes:

Compared to Bill Shorten, Tony Abbott is much more likely to be considered out of touch with ordinary people (+28), arrogant (+27), narrow minded (+26), intolerant (+26) and aggressive (+20).
Bill Shorten is regarded by more respondents to be intelligent (-14) and  a capable leader (-10).

 Labor should be taking some encouragement.
