Sky News host Chris Kenny claims the latest polling delivers another devastating blow to the Coalition, with support collapsing while One Nation continues to gain ground. “Another poll, another dose of bad news for the Liberals, for the Coalition,” Mr Kenny said. “On first preferences Labor recovered three points from 30 to 33, the Coalition slipped back even further to 17 per cent, and reached an all-time low. “That's just 40 per cent all up for the major parties, and then One Nation falling a little to 29 per cent. all on their own. “Labor are struggling to win a third of the primary vote, the Coalition is faring much worse with support from less than one in five, and One Nation, the anti-major party, is reaping the reward, winning favour from close to a third of all voters.”
