The latest Roy Morgan polling has found, if an election was held now, the Coalition would pick up 51.5 per cent of the two-party preferred vote, resulting in a hung parliament.
The poll, released yesterday, found primary support for the coalition increased by two per cent in the past week, up to 40.5 per cent, while the ALP slipped one per cent to 29 per cent.
Support for the Greens also dropped half a per cent to 11 per cent – the lowest polling result for the party since in over two years.
Support for Independents fell one per cent to 9.5 per cent, while support for One Nation fell 1.5 per cent to four per cent.
Roy Morgan chief executive Michele Levine said the coalition’s rise in support was thought to be off the back of the newly minted Queensland Premier David Crisafulli’s “impressive” leadership amidst the flooding crisis in North Queensland.
“At a national level the Coalition leads 51.5 per cent to 48.5pc this week and by over 10pc points on primary voting intention,” she said.
Support for the Greens continues to crash, down 0.5pc to 11pc nationally – its lowest for well over two years since November 2022.”
The poll is based on interviewed responses of a cross-section of 1688 voters from February 3 to February 9.
Of the people surveyed, 9.5 per cent – up two per cent on the last poll – said they couldn’t say who they were voting for.
