FED: John Brumby is Australia's most popular ALP premier: poll

Victoria's JOHN BRUMBY's toppled South Australia's MIKE RANN as the country's most
popular Labor premier .. and has retained a big lead over his Coalition opponents.

The latest Newspoll survey .. published in The Australian today .. shows the decade-old
Victorian ALP government has a lead of 57 per cent to 43 per cent over the opposition.

Satisfaction with Mr BRUMBY remains at a solid 51 per cent and he retains a massive
lead of 54 per cent to 26 per cent on the question of preferred premier .. with 20 per
cent uncommitted.

The survey will come as another bitter blow to Victorian Opposition Leader TED BAILLIEU
.. who's failed to make any inroads on Labor.

Mr BRUMBY's passed Mr RANN .. who has a satisfaction rating of 50 per cent .. to claim
the mantle of the country's most popular Labor premier.
