The Labor primary vote has increased by one point since May, to 32 per cent, and remains 0.58 per cent below the last election, which marked the lowest primary vote ever recorded for the ALP.
The survey did not calculate the two parties’ preferred vote, but revealed that 52 percent of undecided voters would lean toward the coalition if pressed.
Meanwhile, 46 per cent of undecided voters said they would favor Labor if pressed to choose between the two parties.
The Coalition’s primary vote increased almost entirely due to women, who shifted their support following Labour’s failure to reduce the cost of living.
The cost of living crisis was named as one of the three biggest issues worrying Australians, according to the survey.
The issue was ranked as the top concern for 46 percent of voters, and 75 percent of respondents ranked it in their top three.
Only 24 percent of female voters believed the government was handling the cost of living issue well, compared to 31 percent of male voters.
The women’s vote in the Coalition primaries jumped to 38 per cent in October, up from 32 per cent recorded in the May poll.
Female support for the Labor Party increased slightly between May and October, rising just one point to 31 per cent.
Men’s voting intentions remained relatively unchanged between May and October.
