Slump in support raises fresh questions for Labor in Tasmania
By Lucy MacDonaldWhen Labor recorded its lowest electoral result in over a century last year some may have felt the party had hit rock bottom, at least in terms of polling. That may not be entirely the case, writes Lucy MacDonald.

“A #StanfordUniversity analysis of #opinionpolls across three dozen countries found that respondents in #China, #SouthKorea, #Thailand, and #Indonesia were the most excited about #consumer applications of #A.I. Respondents in the #U.S. and #Canada were the least.”

Definitely not surprising that few people support the White House ballroom.
What we should be concerned about is that 39% of Americans believe in ghosts.

"War. Climate change. Unemployment. Against these headline-dominating issues, AI still feels like a gimmick to many. Yet experts warn that AI will reshape all of these issues and more - to say nothing of potential changes to our work and relationships. The question is: do people see the connection? What will make them care?
This research is the first large-scale effort to answer those questions. We polled 10,000 people across the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and Poland to understand how AI fits into their broader hopes and fears for the future
(...)
The truth is that people are concerned that AI will worsen almost everything about their daily lives, from relationships and mental health to employment and democracy. They’re not concerned about “AI” as a concept; they’re concerned about what it will do to the things they already care about most.
(...)
People continue to rank AI low in their list of overall concerns. But we have discovered that there is a strong latent worry about AI risks, because people believe AI will make almost everything they care about worse.This concern is not even. Rather, it plays into existing societal divisions, with women, lower-income and minority respondents most concerned about AI risks.
When it comes to what we worry about when we worry about AI, we have found that concern to be evolving rapidly. People worry most about relationships, more even than about their jobs.
People don't perceive AI as a catastrophic risk like war or climate change; though 1 in 3 are worried that AI might pursue its own goals outside our control, this is actually a lower proportion than
some surveys found for the same question two years ago.Instead, our respondents see AI as a pervasive influence that modifies risk in a host of other areas, with concern about specific harms on the rise."

Got to ask: What do you think is a better overall choice for a general purpose tablet form factor device: one that runs a mobile OS (and therefore is probably well familiar with the interface and hardware its working with), or one that runs a full, actual OS like Linux/Win (and therefore is far more flexible and customizable)?

"Welcome to our Elon Musk favorability polling average. Just like with President Trump’s approval ratings, we’ll update this several times per week with every new Musk favorability poll.
Sometimes, you’ll find a quick note here analyzing the latest trends. But Musk is polled less often than Trump and doesn’t make the news as frequently. So during slow weeks, we might not have much to say about Musk’s favorability.
As of today, 53.5 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Elon Musk and 39.6 percent have a favorable view. And Musk’s numbers have been on a downward trend — especially since Trump took office. In early January, his net favorability rating was dead even at -0.2 percent. Could the trend reverse if Musk leaves the government? Watch this space to find out. -NS & EMD, 4/11/25
Elon Musk was once fairly popular. But his numbers have inverted as his support for President Trump has increased and particularly since he became a “special government employee” and the de facto head of DOGE. Although Musk may eventually leave the government, he’ll remain an exceptionally important and controversial public figure even if he does. Until then, he could be a liability for Trump because he’s less popular than the president is even as Trump’s numbers have also declined."

What Ukrainian opinion polls say about Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
While the US and Russia label Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as illegitimate and unpopular, opinion polls show he's recently seen a bump in popularity.
In November 2024, his approval rating hovered around 53%, going up slightly earlier in 2025 to 57%.

"What’s driving this global Rechtsruck? It’s hard to say for sure. Maybe the entire world is casting a protest vote after several years of inflation. Last year was the largest wipeout for political incumbents in the developed world since the end of the Second World War. One level deeper, it wasn’t inflation on its own, but rather the combination of weak real economic growth and record immigration that tilled the soil for far-right upstarts, who can criticize progressive governments on both sides of the Atlantic for their failure to look out for their own citizens first.
There is another potential driver of the global right turn: the pandemic.
Pandemics might not initially seem to cash out in any particular political direction. After all, in the spring of 2020, one possible implication of the pandemic seemed to be that it would unite people behind a vision of collective sacrifice—or, at least, collective appreciation for health professionals, or for the effect of vaccines to reduce severe illness among adults. But political science suggests that pandemics are more likely to reduce rather than build trust in scientific authorities. One cross-country analysis published by the Systemic Risk Center at the London School of Economics found that people who experience epidemics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less confidence in their scientific and political leadership. This loss of trust persists for years, even decades, in part because political ideology tends to solidify in a person’s 20s.
The paper certainly matches the survey evidence of young Americans. Young people who cast their first ballot in 2024 were “more jaded than ever about the state of American leadership,” according to the Harvard Political Review. A 2024 analysis of Americans under 30 found the “lowest levels of confidence in most public institutions since the survey began.”"
