Mixed results for One Nation and the Coalition in latest federal polls

A DemosAU poll has the Coalition up and One Nation down, while two other polls show Pauline Hanson’s party is still on the rise.

The latest federal polls have shown mixed results for the Coalition and One Nation parties. In the DemosAU poll, the Coalition saw a four-point increase in the primary vote to 25%, while One Nation experienced a five-point decline to 24%. However, the other two polls, YouGov and Morgan, presented different outcomes. One Nation gained two points in the YouGov poll, while the Coalition dropped by one point to 21%.

In contrast, One Nation's lead over the Coalition increased to 5-6 points in the YouGov poll, and the combined support for One Nation and the Coalition reached 49% in DemosAU. The Tasmanian state poll suggests that the Liberals and One Nation would likely secure a combined majority of seats. A national YouGov poll conducted from August 18-24 revealed that Labor led with 29% of the primary vote, followed by One Nation with 26% and the Coalition at 21%.

In head-to-head matchups, Albanese led Taylor by 44-37, while Hanson trailed with 37% support. Respondents were asked to rate Albanese, Taylor, and Hanson on trustworthiness, leadership, and relatability, with Albanese leading in each category, followed by Hanson and Taylor.
