Roy Morgan poll: Breakthrough as Pauline Hanson’s One Nation tops Labor in first post-Federal Budget poll
One Nation has topped Labor on its primary vote in the first public opinion poll released since the Federal Budget.
The Roy Morgan Snap SMS poll – conducted this week after the Albanese government confirmed major property tax changes – found Pauline Hanson’s party ahead of Labor on first preferences, 32 per cent to 28.5 per cent.
The Coalition was at 16.5 per cent, the Greens 11.5 per cent and independents and other parties 11.5 per cent.
It was too close to call on a two-party preferred basis – with Labor ahead 51 per cent to One Nation’s 49 per cent.
The poll was conducted via SMS on Wednesday and Thursday with an Australia-wide cross-section of 2,348 voters.
The snap poll also found 59 per cent of Australian voters disapproved of Albanese’s work as Prime Minister.
That majority was across both genders, every age group, and voters in all five mainland states.
The only exception was in Tasmania where 51 per cent approved of his work.

Aussies also had it out for Treasurer Jim Chalmers with a 57 per cent disapproval rate.
It comes as Senator Hanson outlined her economic agenda on Thursday, naming income-splitting between couples with children to reduce tax as her top priority.
Negative gearing was scrapped on residential property in Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ Budget, except for new builds. The capital gains tax offset was also tweaked.
