#BREAKING: Shock new polling shows Albo’s dog Toto as Australia’s preferred Prime Minister

DOGMATIC: A female Cavoodle is threatening to derail the federal election, after new polling shows Albo’s dog Toto is currently Australia’s preferred Prime Minister.

Polling company Newspoll interviewed 5,600 Australians, asking who they’d prefer as Prime Minister: Anthony Albanese, Peter Dutton or Toto.

“The results weren’t even close, with Toto capturing 41% of the vote,” says Newspoll’s Lyle Sims.

Toto has developed a loyal following over the years while jet-setting alongside the Prime Minister and joining him at various events.

“This isn’t the outcome I was hoping for, but honestly I wish Toto every success,” says Anthony Albanese.

For her part, Toto has vowed to provide strong leadership aimed at easing Australia’s cost of living crisis.

“I will not break any of my election promises,” she says.

“The first thing I want to do is allow anyone to work from home if they’re missing their pet.”
