Guardian Essential poll: Albanese scores highest approval rating in almost 18 months as support for Dutton slips

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : As Trump signals his belief he can broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia after the latter's land invasion in 2022, like-minded countries are considering their options to ensure peace can be achieved - and maintained - on equal terms.
39% : The rating came in after a tough month for Australia, with devastating floods in south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales after a cyclone and the Albanese government being unable to secure an exemption from the US president, Donald Trump, who placed a 25% tariff on aluminium and steel imports.
34% : On world peace, more than half of the voters believed Trump had a negative effect on it, while just 18% believed the second-time US president would do good for climate change.
