The latest opinion poll ahead of the Australian federal election (Sat 21 May), suggests the Labor Party is on track to win 80 seats, which would give it a majority of 5 seats in parliament.
- The latest opinion poll was commissioned by The Australian Newspaper and conducted by YouGov MRP poll, with a sample size of almost 19,000 voters.
- At this stage, it shows the Labor Party winning 80 seats, while the Liberal/National coalition is reduced to 63 seats. The remaining seats would go to the Greens Party and Independents.
- The results show the uphill battle faced by the incumbent coalition government to remain in power, with the election a little over a week away.
- The polling also revealed that current Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, is on track to lose his seat in Victoria.
