Abbott in trouble in Queensland polling :)

You have to do well in QLD if you're going to win a federal election they all say. QLD and NSW have their votes counted first and show the first results. Indeed people are still voting in Perth whilst results are coming in from NSW and QLD. If you don't get enough at the start in QLD you're pretty fucked from there on. 

Unfortunately for Abbott, polling is showing an 8% swing away from him and his Lieberals since the election last Sept:

Tomorrow’s Courier-Mail carries results of a Galaxy poll of federal voting intention in Queensland, going off the same sample as yesterday’s state poll, and it’s the first of four such polls since the election to show Labor in front. Labor’s 51-49 lead on two-party preferred represents an 8% swing from last year’s federal election, and a three-point shift to Labor from the previous result in February. It also sits well with the current reading from BludgerTrack, suggesting serious problems for the government in what may be the most important state in the country in terms of marginal seats. more
