The Coalition is now only 4 points behing the ALP on 2PP:

The Liberal Party and Coalition primary votes are at their highest levels since John Howard lost government, and Labor’s 10-point two-party preferred lead at the beginning of December has been cut to just four points, 52 per cent to 48 per cent.

According to the latest Newspoll survey, conducted last weekend exclusively for The Australian, the Liberal Party’s primary vote rose three percentage points to 37 per cent – its highest since the election; the Coalition’s vote was 41 per cent compared with Labor’s unchanged 40 per cent two weeks ago. Although the primary vote difference is within the margin of error, it is the first time the Coalition has been in front of Labor on primary vote, and the two-party-preferred margin is the equal closest since 2007.

The fact that the Coalition is now AHEAD on the primary vote is amazing, especially considering the recent media campaign to spread lies about Abbott’s recent comments on his fatherly advice to his daughters. This trend of media lies and distortions will ramp up closer to the election, so Abbott will need to come up with a strategy to counter it. Talk back radio, youtube ads, whatever it takes to get his message out without the ABC editorialising/filtering his comments to avoid any damage to the ALP.
