A Queensland poll suggests the premier, Campbell Newman, and more
than half his MPs face losing their seats at next year's election.
A ReachTEL poll of voters commissioned by The Sunday Mail and the Seven Network indicated up to 40 of the Liberal National party's 73 sitting members could be voted out, the Mail reports.
Of almost 1900 Queenslanders asked which of the two main parties would get their vote, 51% chose the LNP and 49% Labor.
The result suggests an 11.8% swing against the government at the next poll, meaning Labor would win 40 LNP seats, and possibly office.
On primary votes, 38.7% of those polled said they would vote for the LNP, compared to 34.4% for Labor.
The poll showed Clive Palmer's popularity continues to rise after 15.4% indicated they would vote for the Palmer United party.
The premier's popularity has slipped further, with 53.1% rating his performance poor or very poor.
The LNP catapulted into power in 2012 after winning 78 seats to Labor's seven in a landslide victory.
Support for the party has since eroded amid public service job cuts, controversial law reforms and plans to sell assets.
