The NSW Labor Party Just Took The Lead In The Polls Six Months Out From The State Election

NSW Labor has moved ahead of the Coalition in the race to a parliamentary majority, according to recent polling. The news marks six months until the NSW state election, which is set to happen in March next year. The Labor opposition is perched ahead of the government 54-to-46 per cent on a two-party preferred basis, according to a Newspoll commissioned by the Weekend Australian.

-led government won a third consecutive state election. Meanwhile, on primary vote Labor leads the Coalition 43 per cent to 30 per cent as per the ‘s . Importantly, both leaders — NSW Labor’s and the Coalition’s — are tied at 28 per cent in the preferred leader category with a whopping 44 per cent undecided, according to Resolve. While it’s too early to tell if early polling will reflect 2023’s state election voting patterns, the swing against the current government could be for a few reasons. The Liberal-National Coalition has held government for the past 11 years. During this time, it has fumbled more balls than its hometown AFL team, the Sydney Swans, did on grand final day. Voters have witnessed a tonne of bureaucratic, economic and environmental mismanagement. They’ve seen the Perrottet government respond poorly to protests and strikes over teacher pay, rail worker conditions, and nurse/midwife understaffing. Plus, there’s been some really weird shit going on that has made the government appear incredibly out of touch. Stuff like in the Sydney CBD (??) and the cabinet becoming approximately  seemingly overnight. Backwards steps, we reckon. On the other hand, NSW Labor leader Chris Minns is beginning to find his feet in the eyes of the voting public. After offering a string of progressive policy alternatives and effectively communicating the failings of the Coalition, Minns is slowly building a platform that everyday, working NSW folk are taking notice of. The NSW state election will be held on March 25, 2023. The Victorian election is also fast approaching and will be conducted on November 26, 2022.
