  "summary": "Nick McGowan believes his prospects may improve in the upcoming election on November 28, noting that some local residents already view him as their MP. According to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, McGowan has previously been described as a “perennial candidate.”\n\nAs the Victorian election campaign reaches its final two weeks, The Conversation AU reports that polling suggests a likely change of government. The Coalition, led by Jess Wilson, entered the campaign with a significant lead that has since increased. Polling from the Australian Financial Review placed the Coalition at 31% of the vote, followed by Labor at 23%, One Nation at 22%, and the Greens at 15%.\n\nThe two-party preferred vote stands at 57-43 in favor of the Coalition. The Conversation AU notes that translating these figures into parliamentary seats is complicated by high vote shares for the Greens and One Nation, alongside low primary votes for the two major parties, which may result in several three or four-cornered contests.",
