• Report card: Verdict on Labor’s worst performers

Premier Steven Miles and his Labor team are heading for a 20-seat wipe-out at the upcoming state election, as new polling puts the LNP comfortably ahead by 10 points.

Polling by The Weekend Australian shows Labor is facing a significant loss in October with the LNP now lording a 55 per cent majority after preferences compared to Labor’s 45 per cent.

Despite splashing billions in its cost of living relief campaign, the government is expected to fall victim to a nasty 8.2 per cent swing, and the LNP to emerge with a 55-seat victory.

It would mean the loss of 20 Labor seats, putting five ministers, including Bart Mellish, Nikki Boyd and Meaghan Scanlon, at risk.

Ms Scanlon, speaking in Brisbane on Saturday, said the party still believed it could garner support over the next month.

“Everyone I speak to knows about the cost of living, relief that our Labor government is delivering,” she said.

“I don’t think I’ve spoken to a single person who doesn’t know about 50 cent fares.”

Housing Minister Meaghan Scanlon.

But polling shows voters want a change, with 57 per cent saying it was “time to give someone else a go”.

Opposition Leader David Crisafulli has also won the confidence of 53 per cent of voters who said they had faith in his ability as the next Premier.

Just 29 per cent said Labor deserved to be re-elected.

Primary votes have remained steady for both major parties, Labor at 30 points and the LNPs 42.

Steven Miles has seen a slight lift in popularity among voters, but still trails David Crisafulli as preferred premier.

Mr Miles’ popularity did rise three points, but he is still sitting heavily behind Mr Crisafulli as preferred premier, 39-46, with 15 per cent of voters remaining uncommitted.

Just over half of voters are dissatisfied with the Premier’s performance, compared to 49 per cent in March.

Ms Scanlon said Queenslanders knew what Mr Miles stood for.

“I think if David Crisafulli wants to be the premier, then Queenslanders need to know what is at risk,” she said.

Pressed on whether that meant voters were uneducated, Ms Scanlon responded with: “Oh no, I wouldn’t say that.”

Support for the Greens has dropped slightly since March, with the party now sitting at 12 points, while One Nation has maintained eight points.
