Voters have cemented their support for Labor in a powerful trend that has lifted the party’s primary vote to 40 per cent nationwide and given it a clear lead against the Coalition in the five biggest states.
Labor has gained ground in every state and staged a dramatic advance in the key battleground of Queensland, where the party’s primary vote has jumped from just 27 per cent at the May election to 37 per cent in an exclusive new analysis.
Labor gained power with 32.6 per cent of the primary vote nationwide in May, but the party’s election review warned this month thatand that suburban voters had cut their support for the party in key seats, especially in western Melbourne. The Greens have held their vote steady at 12 per cent while the primary vote for independent candidates has risen from 5 per cent at the election to 8 per cent in the quarterly report.In a sign that Albanese is in a good position to build on his election victory, the breakdown of the figures from voters in marginal seats shows the Labor vote is up from 27 per cent in this group before the last election to 35 per cent in the quarterly analysis.
The findings for Western Australia should be treated with caution, however, because the state results were based on 484 respondents to ensure the survey reflected wider national population. There is a higher margin of error for results. The final responses came before Albanese unveiled price caps on coal and gas with state premiers on December 9.
