I think it needs to be considered who of the two groups will be more likley to use the ABC website.
The ABC site would attract more left leaning people than conservatives without a doubt. Just as the Herald Sun site would attract a majority conservative viewers.
Looking at respondants to ABC stories there's a definite left leaning in the tones of the bulk of the responses.
So the ABC political compass will have a bias that I'm not sure how they can "factor" in to get an accurate view of the nations views.
Yes, but given that its result is largely in keeping with the other surveys, it can't simply be dismissed on that basis IMO.
Also, it clearly acknowledges a lack of support amongst those that consider themselves "Right" ideologically, and that a large minority (over 10%) are "neutral". But that overall, there is still >50% support (which would be added to be some of the neutrals, presumably).
