NZZ ONLINE: Support for the Australian prime minister has fallen to a record low after two weeks in which the prime minister has seen the public recoil from a series of broken promises and bad decisions.
For the first time since before his election in 2007, Mr Rudd's approval rating has fallen to 45 per cent, the fastest plunge experienced by an Australian leader in a decade. In another unwelcome first, Mr Rudd's disapproval rating of 49 per cent has eclipsed his approval rating, a sign that his long honeymoon in the public's affection is over. >>> Bonnie Malkin in Sydney | Monday, May 10, 2010
