Opposition Leader David Crisafulli is also preferred premier, with support for Annastacia Palaszczuk falling in the latest Resolve poll for the Brisbane Times.

The LNP’s primary vote rose five points to 38 per cent, surpassing Labor for the first time, while Labor slipped three points to 32 per cent in the survey, which covers the four months from mid-May.

Mr Crisafulli is preferred premier for the first time in the poll but only just, with 37 per cent choosing the LNP leader, compared with Ms Palaszczuk’s 36 per cent.

The results are a significant drop from the pandemic-era highs in the premier and her government’s popularity, when Labor recorded a primary vote of 40 per cent at the 2020 election, compared with the LNP’s 36 per cent.

The poll of 947 Queensland voters covers the delivery of the state budget, which posted a record surplus and a bonanza of cost-of-living relief.

It also included a cabinet reshuffle as the premier admitted Labor had to do better in the face of voter concerns about housing, health and youth crime.

The result echoes an Australian Financial Review survey that showed the government on track to lose the October 2024 state election.

The Freshwater Strategy Poll in early July showed Labor’s primary vote falling and a higher unfavourable view of Ms Palaszczuk behind Mr Crisafulli as preferred premier.

Ms Palaszczuk dismissed the earlier survey, saying: “I’m not going to listen to a poll that’s mainly made up of LNP operatives.”

A YouGov poll in April also pointed to a dip in the premier’s popularity.
