A Resolve Political Monitor poll reports that voters give Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ fifth federal budget the worst marks in five years. The finding is based on how respondents rate the budget as an “economic statement,” and it indicates the budget receives its lowest overall approval since comparable measures began five years ago. The reports from multiple outlets—The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and the Brisbane Times—concur that this is the least popular budget statement Chalmers has released. The coverage frames the result as a measure of voter sentiment rather than a specific assessment of any single policy measure, noting only that the budget performs poorly compared with prior budgets and other economic statements in the monitoring period. Across all three articles, the central point is that the Resolve Political Monitor detects a negative shift in public reception, with the latest budget standing out as the least well regarded in the past five years. The reports do not cite alternative polling results or provide detailed breakdowns of which budget elements drive the views.
