A pox on both your houses

With yesterday's ReachTEL poll, we have recent attitudinal polling from the three houses that regularly do this kind of thing.

In a manner similar to the way in which we use a latent Dirichlet process to estimate the primary vote for each of the major parties, we can use a latent Dirichlet process to estimate the degree of happiness or unhappiness with the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.

Update

We can also plot the results for the Prime Minister (PM) and Opposition Leader (OL) side-by-side.
