A new poll reveals that for the first time in two years, more Australians are satisfied than dissatisfied with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's performance, giving him a positive net approval rating. The federal Labor Party maintains a strong lead over the Coalition, with voter support for the major parties remaining relatively stable. Coalition leader Sussan Ley's approval rating has declined, and a significant portion of voters believe it is too early to judge her performance.

In a separate survey, Australians are divided over the government's plan to recognise Palestinian statehood, with many viewing the move as largely symbolic and uncertain about its impact. The polls highlight both the political landscape in Australia and public opinion on key international issues.
