Labor trails Liberals and One Nation in Victorian election poll

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 03:09 · Archive

New polling shows Victoria's Labor Party trailing the Liberal Party and One Nation ahead of the state election.

A Lighthouse tracking poll by News Corp Australia's Growth Intelligence Centre has found Victoria's Labor Party on 22 per cent primary support, with One Nation at 23 per cent and the Liberal Party led by Jess Wilson on 31 per cent. Labor's primary vote fell by 2 per cent since the previous poll, while One Nation's increased by 3 per cent. The Greens remained steady at 14 per cent, with 53 per cent of voters reporting they were very certain of their vote and 10 per cent still undecided.

This polling represents a major shift from the 2022 state election, when Labor won 56 of a possible 87 seats in the lower house. Two in three Victorians rated the Labor government poorly on the economy and law and order. Across all decided voters, the cost of living, healthcare, crime and safety, and utility prices ranked as the top issues.

The polling comes after Labor leader Ben Carroll faced criticism over his party's AI-generated campaign featuring deepfakes of Liberal Leader Jess Wilson and One Nation Leader Warren Pickering. One Nation and the Coalition have also released AI-generated content, but Labor's video received particular scrutiny for allegedly containing lies. The Victorian state election is scheduled for three weeks after the poll.
