LNP's Popularity Decreasing In Brisbane, ReachTEL Poll Shows A ReachTEL poll of more than 36,000 Queenslanders shows a patchy swing of about eight per cent swing against the LNP in Brisbane, while in regional Queensland the LNP is holding firm. It suggests Premier Campbell Newman's seat of Ashgrove would return to Labor if an election was held today, with the ALP (43 per cent) up on Green preferences (13 per cent) over the LNP (39 per cent). Mr Newman won the seat in March 2012 with 52 per cent of the vote. The phone poll, commissioned by the public sector union, Together, was held over two weeks between March 23 and April 2. ReachTEL's phone poll sampled 36,323 people in all Queensland seats, about 410 voters per seat. Statewide, it suggested a 3.9 per cent swing against the LNP, offset by a vote increase of 3.2 per cent in seats between Nanango and Callide, and a 4.5 per cent increase to the LNP in the Central Queensland seats of Gladstone, Rockhampton, Keppel, Mirani, Mackay and Whitsunday. Queensland-wide it shows the LNP polling 45.8 per cent, Labor 30.4 per cent, Katter's Australia Party 9.9 per cent and the Greens 8.2 per cent, with the others at 5.6 per cent. The LNP would easily win if an election was held this week. However in the inner-city Brisbane electorates of Ashgrove, Brisbane Central, Bulimba, South Brisbane, Stafford and Mt Coot-tha, it shows an average swing of 8.3 per cent against the LNP. Here the LNP polls 38.9 per cent, Labor 40.2 per cent, Katter's Australia Party 2.3 per cent, The Greens 14.3 per cent and the rest 4 per cent. In the northern bayside electorates of Nudgee, Sandgate and Redcliffe there is a swing of 9.8 per cent against the LNP. In a selection of electorates in the south west of the city - Mt Ommaney, Indooroopilly, Sunnybank, Greenslopes, Mansfield and Yeerongpilly - the swing against the LNP is 9.2 per cent. The statewide vote shows little movement from a poll conducted for the Seven Network in March. However Together secretary Alex Scott said the breakdown of the figures showed the LNP was becoming more unpopular in Brisbane. "What we have been able to identify is that the overall state position is made up of very large swings against the LNP in parts of Brisbane," he said. "Yet outside Brisbane there have been swings to the LNP, in particular in the coastal strip in the Fraser Coast and central coast region," he said. Mr Scott said the swing to Labor in Brisbane reflected the fact that Brisbane voters had known Mr Newman for longer. "Clearly the honeymoon period of Mr Newman is less in Brisbane because he was previously lord mayor," he said. And I think the nature of the (job) cuts last year was certainly a bit stronger in the southeast and there has been more resistance to them. A spokesman for Mr Newman last night declined to comment. "The government does not comment on union-commissioned push polls," he said.
