The Sydney Morning Herald today carries the bi-monthly Resolve Strategic New South Wales state poll, compiling results from the pollster’s last two national surveys for an overall sample of 1123. It finds Labor recovering the four points it dropped in February (that Resolve Strategic’s February survey struck a distinctly poor sample for Labor was evident from both its federal and state results) to reach 33% on the primary vote, with the Greens similarly losing the three points they gained last time to record 11%, while the Coalition is down two points to 36% after gaining one point last time. This would pan out to around 52-48 on two-party preferred, compared with 54.3-45.7 at the March 2023 election. Chris Minns leads Mark Speakman 40-15 on preferred premier, out from 35-14.
Resolve Strategic: Labor 33, Coalition 36, Greens 11 in New South Wales
The Minns government returns to a respectable position in Resolve Strategic’s bi-monthly state poll series.
Not much change. It will interesting to see if Labor will be able to convert their lead into a majority at the next election.
