One Nation Support Surges to 25 Percent in New South Wales

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns vowed to combat the rising influence of Pauline Hanson's One Nation after Resolve Political Monitor polling showed the populist right party's support surged to 25 percent. This rise coincides with record lows for established parties, with the Australian Labor Party's primary vote dropping to 29 percent and the coalition dipping to 23 percent.

Despite the shift, Minns remains the preferred premier with 36 percent support. The polling indicates a nationwide trend of growing support for One Nation as the state moves toward the March 2027 election. Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane saw her approval rating fall to 16 percent during the same period.

Federal Opposition Leader Angus Taylor criticized the surge, dismissing the party as a one-person show that lacks the policies required to govern. Minns framed the contest as a choice between the stability of his government and the principles of the populist right party.
