One Nation surges in two polls taken after Secret Harbour byelection

In a national YouGov poll, the Pauline Hanson-led party is four points ahead of the Labor government in primary votes – a record high in this poll.

Federal YouGov and Morgan polls, taken after the Secret Harbour byelection in Western Australia, show One Nation's primary vote jumping four points to 30%. Labor's vote dropped three points to 26%. One Nation's four-point primary vote lead is its best in the poll. In Morgan, One Nation's vote rose three points, while Labor led by 0.5 points.

The combined vote for One Nation and the Coalition increased by one point in YouGov to 48% and by four points in Morgan to 48%. The previous Morgan poll had inaccurately suggested a low right-wing vote.
