Ipsos 47 to 53 in Labor's favour

The Ipsos monthly poll has been released. It estimates Labor would receive 53 per cent of the two-party preferred (TPP) vote if an election was held now. Popping these latest numbers into the aggregation, we get an aggregate estimate of 54.2 to 45.8 per cent in Labor's favour.
