For the growing number of the politically interested, of course, it is not Morgan but Newspoll which counts for Newspoll is the subject of Crikey’s fortnightly Tipping Contest where contestants give their estimates of what the polling figures will be.

The results so far have been remarkably accurate but more importantly our sponsor www.glug.com.au provides a dozen bottles of wine to the winner!
