Taylor's approval sinks 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. The drop was steepest among men (16 points) and voters aged 35-54 (20 points), with no group improving. The Coalition's primary vote slid to 22%, while One Nation held at 25% — suggesting the right-of-centre split is durable, not a temporary protest.
