Opposition leader Sussan Ley has taken another big polling hit, as defence spokesman Angus Taylor scrambles to get the numbers for a tilt at her position.
With Liberals arriving in Canberra for the parliamentary sitting beginning Tuesday, the Australian Financial Review’s Redbridge/Accent Research poll found the combined vote of the (now split) Liberals and Nationals down to a parlous 19%, a fall of 7 points since December.
The poll shows One Nation and Pauline Hanson surging ahead of the vote of the fractured Liberals and Nationals. One Nation is now on 26%, up 9 points, and Pauline Hanson has a much better net favourability rating than Ley.
