Labor still ahead in Victorian polls November 21, 2014 - 1:58PM Labor maintains an election-winning lead in the latest opinion polls while one pollster predicts the Greens have a chance of picking up their first lower house seat in Victoria. The latest Herald Sun/Galaxy poll suggests Labor will emerge with a majority of up to eight seats in the November 29 election. For the third consecutive month, Labor leads the coalition 52-48 per cent on a two-party preferred basis. An SMS Morgan poll puts Labor on 55 per cent to the coalition's 45 per cent. Pollster Gary Morgan says although the two major parties are almost level on primary vote - with the ALP on 35.5 per cent to the coalition's 35 per cent - a high expected Greens primary vote of 19.5 per cent would ensure a strong flow of preferences to Labor. If the Greens vote is maintained over the final week of the campaign, the minor party has a good chance of winning its first lower house seat at a Victorian election in one of the inner Melbourne seats of Brunswick, Melbourne, Northcote or Richmond, he said. "The Liberal Party's negative advertising against Labor leader Dan Andrews has provided Andrews with 'free' publicity and not given electors any positive reasons to vote for the coalition," Mr Morgan said on Friday. To stand any chance of a late fightback, Victorian Premier Denis Napthine must maintain that his proposed infrastructure on roads and transport will improve the Victorian economy and provide jobs for the many Victorians without work. The Galaxy poll, also published on Friday, has Labor's primary vote at 39 per cent with the coalition on 40 per cent and the Greens on 13 per cent. If the poll results are repeated in the election, Labor would pick up the Liberal seats of Carrum, Frankston, Bentleigh and Mordialloc, the newspaper says.
