A Surge Down Under?

Australian PM John Howard is seeing a “stunning recovery in the polls“:

JOHN Howard’s refusal to bow to Cabinet critics has paid off for the Prime Minister with a stunning recovery in the polls. A Newspoll survey published today shows the Government picking up four percentage points to get 45 per cent of the two-party preferred vote. Labor’s share fell four points to 55 per cent. The poll still shows that an election held now would see Labor easily elected. But it will give Coalition MPs – and Mr Howard – greater confidence.

Maybe a result of Bush’s recent trip to Australia where he delivered this strong message?
