Total support for right-wing parties rises in Newspoll before Secret Harbour byelection

The gain means Labor’s two-party vote against One Nation would likely drop.

The latest Newspoll conducted before the Secret Harbour byelection in Western Australia shows a rise in support for right-wing parties. One Nation and the Coalition together now have 49% of the vote, up two points from previous polls. The right-wing combined total stands at 50% in Redbridge's latest poll, which had previously shown an outlier figure of 53%.

In a national Newspoll, the right-wing parties collectively gained a two-point lead over Labor. In the Poll Bludger's Redbridge poll, Labor leads One Nation by 52-48, a shift of one point, while the Coalition is even with Labor at 52-48.
