One Nation slips as voters pin cost-of-living woes on Labor
A Resolve Political Monitor poll finds One Nation’s primary vote falling while 46% of respondents blame the federal Labor government for the cost-of-living squeeze.
The latest Resolve Political Monitor survey indicates One Nation’s primary vote has slipped by two percentage points in the past month, settling at 25% after a four-point decline since mid-year. Voter blame for the cost-of-living crunch has shifted toward the federal Labor government, rising six points since March to 46%, while only 4% fault the Reserve Bank despite recent rate hikes. Labour’s primary support nudged up to 29% and the Coalition fell to 23%, keeping the Coalition behind One Nation.
Leadership ratings show Pauline Hanson’s performance perception dropping, with 45% rating her good or very good, down two points, and 41% rating her poor or very poor, up four points. Anthony Albanese’s preferred-leader lead grew by three points to 32%, and his performance rating improved slightly, while Angus Taylor’s rating saw mixed changes.
