LNP makes up ground in Queensland: poll
A poll in Queensland shows support for the coalition soaring since February, with Labor failing to shore up its primary vote.
The coalition has a 51-49 per cent lead on a two-party preferred basis while Labor's primary vote has slipped one percentage point to 33 per cent, according to a The Courier-Mail/YouGov Galaxy poll.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation is ahead of Clive Palmer's United Australia Party. The LNP is expected to benefit from its preference deal with UAP and One Nation's decision to put Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and Petrie's Luke Howarth above Labor on its how-to-vote cards, The Courier-Mail says.
More women (41 per cent) plan to vote for the LNP compared to 35 per cent of men, with a similar slant for Labor (32 and 24 per cent respectively). But 17 per cent said they would vote for independents.
The poll interviewed 848 people on May 8 and 9.
