Stunning Tony Abbott recovery in latest poll despite media attacks (Australian leadership crisis)
Herald Sun (Melbourne) ^ | 2nd March 2015 | Andrew Bolt

WOW. Despite everything they’ve tried to throw at Abbott — false claims about “unilateral invasions”, heckling at media conferences, wall-to-wall ABC and Fairfax attacks, open campaigning for Malcolm Turnbull and constant peddling of false claims of an imminent challenge — the media have not destroyed Tony Abbott.

In fact, they have failed to stop an astonishing recovery, if the latest IPSOS poll can be believed. The Sydney Morning Herald grudgingly admits:

“Australian voters have thrown Tony Abbott a lifeline just as his internal opponents were shaping to dump him, with a Fairfax-IPSOS poll confirming a pro-government shift is under way.

“In a result set to strengthen the Prime Minister’s hand in the short term, the Abbott government has staged an unlikely recovery and, while still trailing, is now within striking distance of overhauling the ALP lead at 49-51.”

.....

Abbott’s recovery dates from the time he decided he had to stop trying so hard to appease the media Left and repair his relations with the conservative base.

At this rate Abbott might even be tempted to say something honest about the great global warming beat up. Given the right opening, of course.

For both the USA and Australia - the media will never give a conservative an even break - so screw ‘em.

I wonder if there is some kind of general principle we might derive from that. I wonder what it might be. ...Can't quite put my finger on it.

They have to give the real polls as the vote closes or they will be exposed. The other polls are fake.

Pray America is waking

Some of the public knows the media lies, invents, suppresses and smears to promote their agenda of hate.

Don’t worry Tony Abbott, Scott Walker went through and still is going through the same thing.

I think most Australians, even if they were not crazy about Abbott, could see how phenomenal he looked next to Kevin Rudd if nothing else.
