Despite mass ministerial resignations/retirements, Melbourne’s seven months of hard lockdowns, mass privatisations (despite promising otherwise), and a raft of corruption scandals, Daniel Andrews’ Victorian Government is headed for an even bigger majority at the upcoming Victorian election:

The ALP on 60.5% (up 1% point from early July) has increased its election-winning lead in Victoria over the L-NP on 39.5% (down 1% point) on a two-party preferred basis, according to a special Roy Morgan Snap SMS Poll conducted from Thursday August 11 – Saturday August 13, 2022.

The result of the Roy Morgan Snap SMS Poll represents an increase in support for the ALP of 3.2% points from the 2018 Victorian State Election won by the ALP 57.3% cf. L-NP 42.7% and the Government led by Premier Daniel Andrews is on track to increase its already large majority in the Victorian Parliament.
