One Nation has overtaken both the Labor Party and the Coalition in a national poll of working-class Australian voters [1].
The surge suggests a significant shift in the political landscape as traditional working-class voters move away from the major parties. This trend follows perceptions that the government has abandoned the interests of its core constituency.
According to the Resolve poll, support for One Nation rose to 24 percent [1]. This represents an increase of two percentage points [1]. The data also shows that party leader Pauline Hanson has a performance rating of +12 [1].
One Nation leaders attribute the rise to a perceived betrayal by the Labor Party. Specifically, the party points to a budget back-flip regarding a promised tax benefit for housing investors [2, 3].
"The Labor Party hasn’t been loyal to them; they haven’t supported them; they’ve made their life harder," Hanson said in an interview with Sky News Australia [4].
Former Victorian Liberal president Michael Kroger described the result as a major shift in voter alignment. He said an extraordinary number of working-class Australians are now backing One Nation, putting the party ahead of both Labor and the Coalition [5].
The result has created urgency within the Liberal Party. An unnamed senior Liberal MP said the Coalition has serious work to do after One Nation overtook both major parties in the latest poll [6].
The party maintains that Labor has failed the people, leaving a vacuum for One Nation to capture the frustrations of voters struggling with the current economy [3, 4].
“One Nation support rose to 24% in the Resolve poll.”
The shift indicates a growing volatility in Australia's traditional voting blocs. By capturing working-class support through critiques of government economic management and budget consistency, One Nation is challenging the long-standing dominance of the two-party system, forcing both Labor and the Coalition to reassess their outreach to blue-collar voters.
