Labor lead halved in NSW but Chikarovski struggles

A new poll shows the NSW Coalition has halved Labor's massive lead, but Opposition
Leader KERRY CHIKAROVSKI is still struggling.

The Sydney Morning Herald has published an ACNeilsen poll which has found the Coalition's
primary vote has risen by 4 percentage points to 35 per cent, while Labor has fallen five
points to 45 per cent.

Labor's lead five months ago was 19 per cent.

The poll, however, shows only a marginal improvement for the Opposition Leader, with
her approval rating rising just two percentage points to 24 per cent.

Mrs CHIKAROVSKI'S disapproval rating fell three percentage points to 60 per cent, while
Mr CARR enjoys an approval rating of 57 per cent.
