Dr Turner said his poll was consistent with other published opinion polls in that “Labor is quite consistently polling below its 2022 election result” of a 52 per cent two-party vote, and a 32.8 per cent primary vote.The Coalition had a 48 per cent two-party preferred vote and a 35.7 per cent primary vote.
