Victorian state election political landscape

Overview

Leading up to the November state election in Victoria, major political figures have addressed the possibility of a minority government. Premier Ben Carroll stated he would rule out a deal with the Greens, while Opposition leader Jess Wilson declined discussions regarding support from One Nation, focusing instead on a majority government through the Liberal and National coalition.

However, recent polling from the Resolve Political Monitor suggests a shifting landscape where the Coalition leads the Labor Party in primary votes, with 28 per cent compared to Labor’s 25 per cent. One Nation maintains 23 per cent support, and the Victorian Greens have seen a 3-point increase.

Leadership popularity has also fluctuated; Premier Ben Carroll’s personal popularity rating dropped 9 points to minus 11, while Jess Wilson’s likeability rose by 4 points to 23. Key election drivers include the economy, crime, and financial management.
