A multi-mode Roy Morgan Poll shows that the ALP has increased its election-winning lead over the Liberal-National Coalition in Victoria. The ALP is now on 60% (up 2% points since August) on a two-party preferred basis, well ahead of the L-NP on 40% (down 2% points) less than two months before the State Election. If a State Election were held today the ALP would win easily. The ALP’s primary vote is now 42% (up 5.5% points since August) and has now moved even further ahead of the L-NP on 28% (down 1% point). Despite the increase in support for the ALP, support for both major parties has dropped since the 2018 State Election. Meanwhile, support for the minor parties is up significantly since 2018, mirroring the trend seen at the recent Federal Election when 34.1% of Victorians voted for a minor party. Overall, nearly a third of Victorians (30%) say they will vote for a minor party or independent in the State Election in November. The Greens attract the most support from these voters at 14.5% (up 0.5% points since August 2022) and a further 15.5% is spread between an array of minor parties and independents. This Roy Morgan Poll on State voting intention was conducted with a representative cross-section of 1,379 Victorian electors aged 18+ during the month of September.

A large majority of 76% of Victorians agree that an employed worker in Victoria is not allowed to enter their employer’s workplace unless fully vaccinated compared to only 24% that disagree, according to a special Victorian Roy Morgan SMS Poll conducted yesterday (November 24, 2021). Agreement with this policy is consistently strong across Gender, Age and Location although there are significant political differences. An almost unanimous 96% of ALP supporters agree with the policy compared to 91.5% of Greens supporters but only 55% of L-NP supporters and just 4% of supporters of the United Australia Party (UAP). The ALP has increased its two-party preferred lead to almost 20% points with the ALP on 59.5% cf. L-NP on 40.5%. Support for the ALP is strongest amongst women: ALP 62.5% cf. L-NP 37.5% while there is a tighter result for men: ALP 55.5% cf. L-NP 44.5%. The survey found 63.5% of Victorian electors approve of the way Premier Daniel Andrews is handling his job while a minority of 36.5%, down 3% points disapprove of his handling of the job.

A special Roy Morgan survey last week found that 60.5% of Victorian electors now approve of the way Premier Daniel Andrews is handling his job, although this is down 10.5% points from November 2020; some 39.5% (up 10.5% points) of Victorians disapprove of Andrews’ handling of the job. The approval of Andrews’ handling of his job is heavily correlated to age. A large majority of young Victorians aged under 35 (72%) approve of Andrews’ handling of the job, while only 28% disapprove. This strong approval declines progressively with age. Over two-fifths of those aged 35-49 (62.5%) and 50-64 (61%) approve of Andrews’ handling of the job, while this drops to only 55% of people aged 65+. The approval rating for Andrews amongst the genders match the figures for the two-party preferred voting support, with 65% of women approving of Andrews’ handling of his job compared to 55.5% of men. Analysing by voting intention shows just how widely divergent the views of supporters of the different parties are. A near unanimous 97% of ALP voters approve of Andrews’ handling of the job, and 84% of Greens supporters also approve. In contrast, only 16% of L-NP supporters approve of Andrews’ handling of the job; this drops to only 1.5% of supporters of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party.

A Victorian Roy Morgan Poll on State voting intention shows primary support is down for both the ALP State Government on 43% (down 2% points from November 2020) and the Liberal-National Opposition on 31% (down 3.5% points); while support for the Greens is unchanged on 11%. The beneficiaries are the minor parties and independents – now attracting the support of 15% of electors – up 5.5% points. Minor party support is highest for Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party on 3%, Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party is on 2%, while 3.5% support other parties and 6.5% support Independents. Despite the drift in support to minor parties the ALP still holds a strong two-party preferred lead: ALP 58% cf. L-NP 42%. However, Premier Daniel Andrews’ job approval is now at 60.5%, down a large 10.5% points from November 2020 when approval for the Premier hit a record high after the end of Victoria’s long second lockdown, and disapproval is 39.5%. Detailed analysis of results shows significant gender and age differences on voting intentions and sentiment towards Premier Andrews. Full details and key demographic breakdowns will be released later today. This Roy Morgan Poll surveyed yesterday (Wednesday) a cross section of 1,357 Victorian electors.
