The Coalition's primary vote is now 35 per cent,up from 31 per cent since the last survey at the end of 2023. Over the same period,Labor's primary vote has fallen four percentage points to 33 per cent.
However,the survey shows that Jacinta Allan has retained an edge over Pesutto as preferred premier,with 34 per cent of voters favouring Allan compared to 25 per cent for the Liberal leader. Despite her strong lead,Allan has so far been unable to attain the same level of popularity as her predecessor,Daniel Andrews,who consistently held a double-digit lead over his political opponents.
