KEVIN Rudd's approval rating has slumped even further, and if an election were held now Labor would lose, a new poll shows.
The Prime Minister's approval dropped by 14 percentage points in one month to 45 per cent, while his disapproval rating has risen 13 points to 49 per cent, according to a Nielsen poll published today.
The loss of personal support is the most dramatic for a prime minister in a decade and marks the first time Mr Rudd has had a disapproval rating higher than his approval rating.
The plunge comes in the wake of the Government's announcement last week of its 40 per cent tax on mining profits - a move that appears to have failed to gain popular backing.
The poll results add pressure on the Government to win support with tomorrow's Federal Budget, although Treasurer Wayne Swan said yesterday he would not use the Budget to try to buy votes.

The poll of 1400 voters comes after a bad month for the Government, in which it scrapped the home insulation scheme and shelved attempts to implement an emissions trading scheme.
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the Government had taken tough decisions during the global recession and financial crisis.
"Obviously in the recent period we've been dealing with some big questions," she told ABC Radio today.
"These things are going to take some time to explain and work through with the electorate and we'll be focused on that."
The approval and disapproval ratings of Opposition Leader Tony Abbott remained steady at 46 per cent and 45 per cent respectively.
But Mr Rudd still leads Opposition Leader Tony Abbott as preferred prime mininster 53 to 38.
Mr Abbott said there was much "to be encouraged by" in the poll, adding that voters were clearly turning their backs on Mr Rudd.
"I think there is a developing crisis of confidence about Kevin Rudd's capacity to govern effectively," he told ABC Radio today.
However, Mr Abbott refused to offer any detail on the timetable for the release of his own policies, saying people already had a pretty good idea of where the coalition stood on the big issues.
"I've certainly started to talk about some of the things that we will do to reduce debt. For instance we're going to sell Medibank Private," he said.
"I think more and more detail will come out between now and the election.
"We won't be a blank page going into the election campaign."
One of the reasons behind Mr Rudd's "freefall" in the polls was because voters had growing confidence in the coalition as the alternative government, Mr Abbott said.
The poll follows a similarly dire Newspoll published last week.
The Nielsen poll, which is published in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age shows that on a two-party-preferred basis, Labor and the Coalition are even at 50 per cent, compared with 51-49 a month ago.
This represents a 2.7-point two-party swing against Labor since the election. If the swing were uniform and an election were held now, Labor would lose 19 seats - and government.
Meanwhile, advertising legend John Singleton is being courted to handle Mr Abbott's election campaign.
Several sources told The Australian that Mr Singleton, who helped catapult Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke into The Lodge - has been sounded out about handling the Liberal campaign after the party was advised it had to make a clean break with the campaigns of the Howard era if it hoped to win.

sieht jedenfalls so aus als wäre alles schlechte verarbeitet. Jedenfalls ist am Montag ja noch genug Zeit mit ein zu steigen. 
Bevor du an Knete kommst, ist erst mal unser Finanzminister mit seiner Abgeltungssteuer an der Reihe, erst danach kommst du. Nach wie vor gilt, Silber muß nicht abgesichert werden. Geht es runter, gilt nachkaufen. Klaro [Blockierte Grafik:
