Key issues

Labor also leads on the primary vote for the first time this term, recording 33.5 per cent compared to the Coalition’s 31 per cent, marking a 2 per cent decline since the last poll and positioning them 4.7 per cent below their 2022 federal election result.

Is the Coalition resonating with young and multicultural voters?

The latest polling by Redbridge and Accent Research indicates Labor’s two-party preferred support is in the 60s among diverse voters and young voters — the latter who hold immense power in this election, outnumbering baby boomers for the very first time.

“As a result, Labor’s primary vote has surged into the mid-40s among Australians who speak a language other than English at home. Critically, this will hinder the Coalition’s efforts to win back key seats like Bennelong and Reid.”

Which seats remain key?

While in Victoria, Dutton will attempt to wrestle Goldstein, Kooyong, Aston, Dunkley, Gorton and Hawke from Labor.

In the NSW battleground, the opposition leader will target Mackellar, Paterson, Dobell, Bennelong, and Gilmore. In WA, South Australia, Tasmania, and Queensland, the coalition will go for Bullwinkel, Boothby, Lyons, and Moreton, among others.

Labor is ahead in two ultra-tight seats a week out from the election, according to YouGov polling commissioned by AAP. These include Lyons, a sprawling rural seat covering Tasmania’s centre and east, and Braddon, which covers the island’s northwest and west.
