Victorian Labor MPs alarmed as poll puts party behind One Nation
A DemosAU poll released put Victorian Labor's primary vote at 18%, behind One Nation's 21% and the Coalition's 33%, prompting alarm among Labor MPs. Earlier, a Lighthouse tracking poll reported by News. com. au gave One Nation 23% support, just ahead of Labor's 22% while the Liberal Party led with 31%.
The Guardian said One Nation was gaining traction in Melbourne's western suburbs as Labor's support fell sharply. An internal Greens poll, also cited by The Guardian, placed the Greens ahead of One Nation. Analysis of 2022 booth results by The Age highlighted Labor's loss of ground in its traditional northern suburbs and One Nation's rise in regional areas, and identified marginal seats such as Sydenham, Morwell and Ripon as pivotal for the November 28 state election.
