Albanese's disapproval hits record high as One Nation surges

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 21:15 · Archive

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's disapproval rating has reached a record high as One Nation matches Labor's primary vote at 28 per cent.

Anthony Albanese's disapproval rating has hit a record high since taking office in 2022. The Guardian Essential Poll, conducted following an alleged attack on Indi MP Helen Haines, shows One Nation and Labor now tied at 28 per cent of the primary vote, with the Coalition on 23 per cent. Labor's primary vote has dropped from 29 per cent in prior polling, with pollsters attributing the fall to 'a further deterioration of Albanese's personal approval ratings'.

The survey of 1,087 Australians reflects wider political fragmentation in Australia. Victorian polling by Pyxis Polling & Insights shows the Coalition ahead of Labor under newly-appointed premier Ben Carroll, despite Labor holding government for 12 years. One Nation is seen as capable of capturing as much as 20 per cent of the state's primary votes.
