The Guardian reported that Victorian Labor MPs are both sceptical and seriously concerned after a new poll placed the party in third place with an all‑time low primary vote of just 18%. The DemosAU/PremierNational poll, first published by the Herald Sun on Monday, showed Labor’s share had fallen seven points to 18%, trailing the Coalition’s 33% and One Nation’s 21%. At the same time, the Greens rose to 17%, a three‑point increase since September. Ben Carroll refused to be drawn on the latest opinion poll that puts Labor at an all‑time low of just 18%, behind One Nation on 21% and the Coalition on 33%.
Why it matters
The poll indicates Labor is far behind its rivals ahead of the state election, highlighting a potential shift in voter sentiment.
