Sky News host Paul Murray says a recent poll questioning if Australia is headed in the wrong direction has “roared” into 54 per cent of the country saying Australia is doing so.

“The prime minister’s politics and spin and the gallery playing the narrative and the ‘get Dutton’ is not actually connecting with normal people,” he said.

“The Essential Poll … right track, wrong track … today it did not just bust through 50 per cent it roared past half of the country saying we are in the wrong place.”
