Focus groups in the pivotal marginal seat of Lindsay show that voters are disappointed with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Last September swinging voters in the key campaign battleground were positive about Malcolm Turnbull and the switch from Tony Abbott.

Fast forward to May and the same group were asked again what they thought about Mr Turnbull.

Their answers were quite different.

The overall feeling of the group was one of disappointment.

They all appeared to have had high hopes for Malcolm Turnbull's prime ministership, but now felt he had failed to deliver on that promise.

"He has no idea how we live, you know. He's always been rich." "He's not trustworthy, all he does is look after the big end of the city." "I thought he was going to do great things but now I realise the guy's just an egotist."

"He looks more professional. More organised. More like he's got a good head on his shoulders." "He seems a bit more truthful and upfront than everybody else." "With his drive, his determination and his business-savvy sense he'll be able to take Australia forwards."

Bill Shorten: Lindsay focus group 2016

The participants of the focus group barely changed their view on Opposition Leader, Bill Shorten - they were not convinced about him or his abilities in September and they remained unconvinced now.

"No idea how to run a country." "Weak but ruthless." "Incompetent and absolutely out of his depth."

Labor's message: Lindsay focus group 2016

Asked if Labor's message about Mr Turnbull was cutting through, the participants talked about him looking after the big end of town, "all his mates on the yachts", and not taking care of lower-income families.

One participant felt the Coalition wasn't worried about her.

"They're just taking everything away from us and giving it to them, the higher income earners. "They want to take away Medicare and stuff like that. That's a real worry. "The tax breaks and all that they give to the richer people."

Coalition's message: Lindsay focus group 2016

Everyone knew about the Government's "jobs and growth" slogan, but most participants were sick of hearing it and sceptical about how jobs and growth would be achieved.

"Yeah but where? Where are they going to create the jobs?" "I've heard it six times every day since they called the election." "Unemployment rate, I don't think that's moved."

One man in the group said he didn't think Mr Turnbull was really interested in jobs and growth at all.

"I think he's more interested in the upper part of society than anybody else," he said.

Is the disappointment with Mr Turnbull enough for these people to change their vote? They appear less likely to vote for Mr Turnbull than they were last year, but they aren't sure about Mr Shorten either.
