With a state election in October,the opposition party now holds a 17-percentage-point lead over the governing party on primary voting intention (43 per cent to 26 per cent),according to the latest three-month snapshot by Resolve Strategic forBrisbane Times.
LNP leader David Crisafulli has kept a steady lead as preferred premier (on 39 per cent),while Miles is being judged more harshly than predecessor Annastacia Palaszczuk was,albeit with more voters now unsure.
Crisafulli’s net likeability – the balance of favourable and unfavourable views among those who know him well enough to rate him – has risen again to 14,with Miles’ first entry (-15) slightly better than Palaszczuk’s last (-17).
The portion of respondents who have heard of Crisafulli rose to 71 per cent,from 62 per cent inthe September-to-December snapshot. While there was almost universal recognition of Palaszczuk,84 per cent knew of Miles.
About one-third of voters say their primary support would go to a minor party or independent,up from 25 per cent at the 2020 election,which represents no change beyond the margin of error since the past snapshot.
