EXCLUSIVE: Galaxy poll delivers ray of light for Labor's Nick Champion in the SA seat of Wakefield Nick Champion at Catherine McCauley School Craigmore in his electorate of Wakefield. LABOR is set to hold Wakefield, a seat that hopeful Coalition MPs had been eyeing off as a possible win. There has been a swing to the Coalition of 5.5 per cent, but incumbent Nick Champion holds the seat by 10.53 per cent. An exclusive Galaxy Research poll commissioned by The Advertiser found Mr Champion's primary vote is 44 per cent, while his opponent Tom Zorich is at 35 per cent. That puts the two-party preferred figure at 55 for Labor and 45 for the Liberal Party. The current margin would normally be considered safe but, with the momentum swinging towards Opposition Leader Tony Abbott in this election campaign, there are some who considered Wakefield a possible win for the Coalition. Internal polling by the Liberal Party has shown the contest is much tighter than The Advertiser poll of 575 voters suggests. The big issue in the Wakefield electorate is the car industry. The Holden plant at Elizabeth has become emblematic of the problems plaguing the industry.

The campaign has not been a smooth ride for Mr Champion or Mr Zorich. Mr Champion was heavily criticised for a pamphlet in which he said he had secured "guaranteed support" for Holden, with some saying the wording was misleading. Mr Zorich stumbled in a debate when he was forced to concede he didn't know the Coalition's climate change policy.
