New polling reveals a challenging landscape for Australias Coalition parties, with Queensland emerging as their most significant concern. Voters in Queensland are shifting towards One Nation, which surged to eighteen percent primary vote, while Labor climbed to thirty-three percent and the Coalition plummeted to twenty-seven percent. Nationally, the Coalition hit a record low primary vote of twenty-four percent in October, with Labor leading fifty-eight to forty-two percent on two-party preferred. Younger voters are increasingly rejecting conservatives, and older voters without university degrees are moving to One Nation. Opposition Leader Sussan Ley struggles with low personal ratings, and while most see Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as the better leader, hes softer in Queensland. As MPs return to Canberra in January for new anti-vilification laws, Coalition figures hope focusing on extremism and borders will reel back One Nation voters over summer.
