Labor on track in battleground WA seats

Labor is on track to win six crucial Liberal-held seats in Perth, according to a new poll that surveys voters seat-by-seat.

Five of the six seats were held by margins of between 8.9 per cent and 11 per cent and one of them, Perth, by 2.8 per cent.

The ReachTEL poll of 3750 voters conducted this week and published in the West Australia newspaper, found Labor leading by between one and nine points in seats it is viewed as needing to win.

The findings contrast with a statewide poll last week that suggested the election was tightening.
