Queensland Labor government to facing election wipe-out, exclusive polling data reveals
Queensland's Labor government is facing a wipe-out at this year's state election, exclusive polling data has revealed.
Labor is not just facing losing power, but a huge potential swing against it, according to Redbridge's poll of 880 Queenslanders.
The poll has the Liberal National Party (LNP) in front with 57 per cent of the votes on a two-party preferred basis.

Labor's primary vote is down to 28 per cent, only just above its disastrous 2012 result of 26.7 per cent, which left the party with seven seats.
The Coalition's primary vote, on the other hand, is at 47 per cent, just below the 49.7 per cent it recorded in 2012.
Labor is still in front with 18- to 34-year-olds on 57 per cent but the lead vanishes with middle-aged voters.

Nearly three-quarters of Queenslanders older than 65 are planning on voting to throw the government out.
The LNP also enjoys a slight lead in inner and middle suburbs but the gap grows wider in outer suburbs and provincial towns.
The numbers were put together by veteran Labor strategist Kos Samaras and former Liberal staffer Tony Barry.
