Coalition surging ahead of Labor in WA and level in NSW: Newspoll

The latest Newspoll shows the Coalition surging ahead of Labor in Western Australia and drawing level in New South Wales. Support for both parties is now beginning to slip in South Australia. More male and young voters are turning towards the Opposition, while the government has seen increased support in Queensland. On a national scale, Labor’s primary vote has increased by one per cent but still trails the Coalition 33 to 37 per cent. Labor has maintained its lead on a two-party preferred basis – 52 to 48 per cent – while Anthony Albanese remains 12 per cent ahead of Peter Dutton as the better prime minister.
