The latest Guardian Essential Poll, released Wednesday, revealed One Nation’s primary vote has surged to 17 per cent – up from 15 per cent in last month’s Newspoll and just five per cent in June 2024.
The figure trails Labor’s 34 per cent and the Coalition’s 26 per cent but marks a historic high for the party.
The boost comes after Hanson announced that renegade former Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce would defect to One Nation and lead its 2028 NSW Senate ticket.
Conducted last week, the poll of 978 voters predated Joyce’s formal defection and showed public opinion was divided on his move.
