The political landscape in Victoria is in flux, with a growing sentiment that the Labor government's time in power may be coming to an end. The latest Resolve Political Monitor survey reveals a pronounced mood for political change, with only a quarter of voters supporting Labor's re-election and nearly half questioning the two-party system. This shift in public opinion has significant implications for Premier Jacinta Allan, whose leadership is under scrutiny. The survey shows a surge in support for One Nation, with primary support rising to 24%, making it the most popular political party in Victoria. This trend is particularly concerning for Labor, as it threatens to leave the state with a hung parliament if the primary vote numbers are replicated in the November election. The survey also highlights a growing dissatisfaction with the Allan government, with 31% of Labor voters disagreeing with the idea that the government deserves another term. This sentiment is further emphasized by the fact that only 4% of One Nation voters believe Labor should be re-elected. The opposition, led by Jess Wilson, is seen as a viable alternative, with 46% of respondents agreeing that the Liberal and National coalition is capable of governing. The survey's findings reflect a broader mood for change in Victoria, similar to the sentiment that accompanied the end of the last long-serving Labor government in NSW. As the state heads towards a volatile election, the question remains whether One Nation and the Liberal Party will share the spoils or one will gain the upper hand. The survey's results also indicate that the two-party system, a cornerstone of Victoria's political landscape since World War II, may be on its last legs. With Allan's approval rating slipping and Wilson's popularity rising, the upcoming election promises to be a closely contested race. The survey's findings have sparked renewed speculation about the future of Labor's leadership in Victoria, with Allan's supporters and detractors offering differing perspectives on the implications of the survey's results. As the state prepares for the November election, the political landscape is set for a dramatic shift, with the potential for a hung parliament and a new era of political leadership in Victoria.
