FED:Labor sticks with Gillard despite polls
Labor and union figures have rallied behind JULIA GILLARD in the wake of a new poll
showing KEVIN RUDD is more popular.
A Nielsen poll shows the former prime minister is now preferred by 55 per cent of voters
.. compared with 38 per cent for Ms GILLARD.
The poll comes as Labor battles to convince voters of the need for a carbon tax to
tackle climate change.
Australian Workers Union national secretary PAUL HOWES last week threatened to withdraw
support from the government if it can't guarantee jobs under the carbon tax .. but says
he supports Ms GILLARD.
Cabinet minister ANTHONY ALBANESE says there's no support for a change of leadership.
