Nationals face total wipeout as One Nation leads with male voters
The latest Capital Brief/Demos AU poll suggests the junior Coalition party is on course to lose all of its lower house seats as One Nation surges and overtakes Labor among men.
The Nationals face a total wipeout and One Nation would easily become the official Opposition if an election were held today, according to exclusive new polling that also suggests Pauline Hanson’s party is winning male voters.
The latest Capital Brief/Demos AU poll, published on Friday, shows One Nation on course to seize all of the Nationals’ current lower house seats, relegating the Coalition to minor party status — with a seat count as low as nine.
It also finds that, for the first time, more men would now give their first preference (29%) to One Nation than Labor (28%) — while Hanson’s party leads the Coalition in all age and gender brackets.
If the poll’s predictions were born out at an election, Hanson’s party would win between 46 and 55 seats nationally, with Labor still on course for a majority government with a total of between 77 and 86.
