Exclusive polling data indicates that the Labour government in Queensland is expected to lose handily in this year’s state election.
Redbridge’s survey of 880 Queenslanders indicates that Labour not only faces a significant potential swing against it, but also the possibility of losing power.
With 57% of the vote on a two-party preferred basis, the Liberal National Party (LNP) is leading the poll.
Labor’s terrible 2012 score of 26.7%, which left them with seven seats, is barely over their current primary vote total of 28 percent.
In contrast, the Coalition’s primary vote share is 47%, which is somewhat less than the 497.7% it received in 2012.
Labour maintains its lead among voters aged 18 to 34 (57%), while the advantage disappears among those in the middle age range.
Approximately 75% of Queenslanders over 65 intend to vote in order to overthrow the current government.
In the inner and middle suburbs, the LNP likewise has a tiny advantage, but in the outer suburbs and provincial towns, the difference widens.
Tony Barry, a former Liberal aide, and veteran Labour strategist Kos Samaras combined the figures.
