Opposition Leader Taylor's net approval crashes to minus-12 as Coalition primary hits 22%

Angus Taylor's net approval fell from minus-1 to minus-12 in the July 2026 Guardian Essential poll of 1,060 voters. Net approval dropped 16 points among men and 20 points among voters aged 35-54, with no cohort improving. The Coalition's primary vote fell to 22% while One Nation held at 25% — suggesting the right-of-centre split is durable, not a protest that returns to the Coalition.
