Watch Sunrise on Channel 7 and stream it for free onAccording to a YouGov poll released on Wednesday, Frydenberg is trailing Independent candidate Dr Monique Ryan by 53-47 on a two-party-preferred basis in the blue-ribbon seat of Kooyong.
The poll indicates the primary vote for the Treasurer has fallen to 38 per cent, meaning Ryan could take the Melbourne seat if Labor’s preferences flow towards her, as expected.The result will send shockwaves through the Liberal party as it sets up Defence Minister Peter Dutton to become the party’s next leader should Frydenberg not be re-elected and Scott Morrison choose to stand down if he loses government.
Ryan, a surgeon, is one of multiple “teal independents” who are standing against Liberal MPs in key seats during the federal election.Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is at risk of losing his seat.Credit:The YouGov poll does offer a glimmer of hope for the Coalition, with suggestions most of those independents are set to fail in their attempts to win a seat.
While Frydenberg in Kooyong and Tim Wilson in Goldstein are likely to be sent packing, sitting MPs in the Sydney seats of Wentworth, North Sydney and McKellar do not appear to be at risk.
