Voters concerned with LNP majority in South Brisbane

With the South Brisbane by-election to be held this Saturday, we asked voters who they'd vote for and if there was any concern with the size of the LNP's majority in State Parliament. The ALP primary vote has picked up 5.3 percentage points since the election. In all, 45% of people indicated they were less likely to vote for the LNP because of the massive majority.

The polling was conducted using our fully automated voice broadcast market research capabilities. This gives us the ability to have audited research results back in our customer's hands in literally hours instead of days or even weeks.
