Way back in 2011, the NSW Coalition had victoriously won the election.

It seemed like that the same thing is happening again as shown by the recently conducted Newspoll survey.

The recent Newspoll published in The Australian showed the Coalition leading over Labor on a two-party preferred basis of 61 to 39 per cent.

The votes for Labor stayed on 28 per cent, while the Coalitions lead as far as 47 per cent in NSW.

It looked like odds will not still be in favour of Labor as the party faces bouts of scandals involving different officials.

There was Finance Minister Greg Pearce attending to his parliament seat drunk from a late-night drinking spree. Mr Pearce also faces accusations of booking his private travels using the government travel agency.

There were also three reports released from NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, accusing Ian Macdonald, Eddie Obeid and Eric Roozendaal of corruption.

The two reports from ICAC revealed deatils on how the Australian Labor Party powerbroker Mr Obeid and his family acquired at least $30 million from a lease in their farm involving a coal exploration during Mr Macdonald's term as mining minister.

Another report reveals investigations about a doubtful purchase of a car on a discounted price by Mr Roozendal through the help of the Obeid family.

The release of the ICAC reports blurred the Australian Labor Party's image for the upcoming federal election in NSW. As a result, there had been rumours that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will continue to delay the election up until the odds are in the party's favour again.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Poll published in the Sunday Telegraph showed that ALP was still the more popular among voters over Tony Abbott's party.

Indeed, Mr Rudd had gotten the party out of its deficit in terms of popularity among voters. This remained in the status quo ever since Mr Rudd returned as leader for ALP.

Labor and Liberal National were on a 50-50 on a two-party preferred basis. This status quo was an improvement as compared to a two-point deficit and a 10-point gap on June 11-13 before Mr Rudd took the leadership from Julia Gillard.

This only goes to show that Mr Rudd had uplifted the disillusioned voters during Ms Gillard's term as leader of the party.
