While the world looks on aghast at Donald Trump, Peter Dutton can take inspiration | Peter Lewis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : Note that among both Coalition and minor party voters Trump is more favourable than Kamala Harris.
65% : Also striking is the strong support for Trump among those who self-identify as struggling financially and those who are now union members.
52% : Like Trump, Dutton has honed his skills exploiting identity politics.
52% : Findings in his week's Guardian Essential Report shows Australians are feeling significantly more positively towards Trump than at the chaotic end of his presidency.
43% : Like Trump, he will rail against the woke corporate elites, hyperventilating about their diversity and inclusion programs while locking in their material interests.
33% : And like Trump he will deploy Murdoch's distribution platform which will dress up his constant stream of bad takes and thought bubbles as strong leadership while plastering over the rougher edges.
22% : Like Trump, Dutton is a false prophet: his policy platform of getting tough on immigration, undermining the renewable transition and standing up for the little guy is riddled with holes.
20% : The sense of doom that surrounded the 2016 election has also lifted, with the number of respondents concerned Trump would be worse for Australia's relations with the United States plummeting from 63% in July 2016 to just 37% today.
