Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s management of the CCP virus outbreak response has kept his personal approval rating near a record high, especially as the government now works to revitalise the economy following Australia’s loss of 600,000 jobs.

According to the latest Newspoll poll conducted on May 17, the Morrison government’s ratings are the highest since September 2019.
