  "account": "Two Victorian polls, completed after the recent change of premier, have shown the Coalition leading Labor, while One Nation's primary vote has dropped. According to a Redbridge and Accent Research poll, the Coalition now holds 30% of the primary vote, up from 26% last June, with Labor at 23%, down from 26%, and One Nation at 22%, down from 25%. The Greens have maintained their 14% share, with all other parties accounting for 11%. In preferences, the Coalition leads Labor by 53-47, a one-point improvement for Labor over the previous poll. For the federal polls, a Redbridge poll shows the combined primary vote for One Nation and the Coalition at 53%, a six-point increase since late June. However, in Morgan, the right vote remains steady at 47.5%. These polls suggest a potential shift towards a standard two-party contest as One Nation and Pauline Hanson's ratings with Victorians both decline.",
