During the election campaign, Andrew Leigh will be providing us with a daily update on what the polls are saying about who will win the election.

For more about the theory of betting markets, and an Excel file showing the betting odds throughout the campaign, see www.andrewleigh.com.

What do the betting markets say today?

Coalition: 69.3%

Labor: 30.7%

Andrew says: ‘This is the first rise for Labor since the campaign started two weeks ago, but Labor is still doing worse than before the Jakarta bombing’.
