Exclusive polling conducted for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald shows Labor is ahead on 38 per cent of the primary vote to the Coalition’s 34 per cent.

The poll also put Anthony Albanese narrowly ahead of Scott Morrison as preferred prime minister, for the first time since the Resolve Political Monitor began last April.

It comes as the NSW Court of Appeal made a landmark ruling on Tuesday.

The court confirmed the validity of the Liberal Party federal executive’s endorsement of candidates in that state, setting the stage for an election date announcement within days.

Today on Please Explain, national affairs editor James Massola joins Bianca Hall to discuss the latest Resolve poll, and why the government might not be entirely unhappy with it.
