The aftermath of the Bondi terror attacks has brought about a shift in polling for the Albanese government, which has been riding high since its thumping win in the 2025 federal election.

In the latest polls, Labor leads in Newspoll by 55–45 but only by 52–48 in Resolve. In Newspoll, Labor has 32% of the primary vote, One Nation 22% and the Coalition just 21%, but Resolve has the Coalition ten points ahead of One Nation.

A national Newspoll, conducted January 12–15 from a sample of 1,224, gave Labor a 55–45 lead over the Coalition, a three-point gain for the Coalition since the November Newspoll.

Primary votes were 32% Labor (down four), 22% One Nation (up seven), 21% Coalition (down three), 12% Greens (down one) and 13% for all Others (up one).

This is a record low for the Coalition in any poll and the first time they have been third in a poll. An early January DemosAU poll had One Nation and the Coalition tied at 23% each, so it’s not a record high for One Nation.
