One Nation Vaults to Second in National Polls as Hanson’s Ratings Rise

Polls place the party in the mid‑20s with Labor still leading nationally.

Overview

  • Newspoll, Redbridge and Roy Morgan this month show One Nation around 25–27% on primary vote, ahead of the Coalition, while Labor holds roughly 33%, with pollsters warning the surge may include protest sentiment.
  • Redbridge reports especially strong favourable views among Generation X, and ABC interviews highlight youth scepticism toward One Nation with many younger voters leaning to the Greens.
  • Barnaby Joyce joined One Nation in December and Cory Bernardi has been promoted, as the party claims a 500% post‑election membership increase.
  • Core positions include cutting immigration by 570,000, stricter deportations and exiting the UN Refugee Convention, alongside rejecting net‑zero policies and leaving the Paris climate accord.
  • Despite announcing a rebrand, the AEC still lists the party as “Pauline Hanson’s One Nation”, and a federal court last year found Hanson racially discriminated against Senator Mehreen Faruqi.
