Guardian Essential poll: RBA rate cut too little too late for many as Albanese's rating dips again

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : After a week dominated by the government's $8.5bn Medicare bulk-billing pledge - quickly matched by the Coalition - Labor's biggest lead among voter perceptions was on funding Medicare.
44% : As the official start of the election campaign nears, almost one in two Australians don't know who they will vote for or might change their mind More than half of Australians believe last month's cash rate cut was too little too late and a sign the Labor government's economic plan is not working, but voters think Anthony Albanese is better placed than Peter Dutton to deliver cost-of-living relief and higher wages and safeguard Medicare.
