Premier faces an uphill battle to win regions over, even as shifting numbers show Labor has successfully (though not decisively) pushed the needle in the government’s favour.
Miles has also clawed back Opposition Leader David Crisafulli’s advantage as preferred premier, trailing by just two points in the poll – well within the margin of error of 3.1 per cent.What was not within the margin of error was Miles’s advantage in metropolitan electorates. In Brisbane, Miles holds a commanding 42-37 lead over Crisafulli in the preferred premier stakes, with 21 per cent undecided.
The strategies of both leaders, who have been blitzing central and northern Queensland over the past few weeks, suggests their internal party polling may be telling them a similar story – there are still thousands of voters to be won over in the seats that will decide this election.A case in point: Crisafulli and his campaign message du jour of crime, one of the four policy priorities he has taken to the election.
In the rest of Queensland, only 39 per cent of voters gave Miles their tick of approval. That’s potentially bad news for the 17 Labor members outside the greater Brisbane metropolitan area. The latest Resolve poll has highlighted what has been assumed knowledge – Miles faces an uphill battle to win the regions over, even as the shifts in his overall popularity and Labor’s primary vote shows their campaign has successfully pushed the needle in the government’s favour.
