The One Nation party in Australia has seen a significant increase in its support across various demographics, with some recent polls showing its primary vote surpassing that of the traditional major parties. For example, a Redbridge/Accent survey indicated One Nation reaching 31 percent of the primary vote, ahead of Labor at 28 percent. Another Roy Morgan poll from June 10, 2026, also reported One Nation’s primary support at 29.5 percent, ahead of both the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal-National Coalition.
This surge in popularity has been observed since the May 2025 federal election, and notably intensified following the federal budget presented on May 12, 2026. Analysts suggest that voter dissatisfaction with the major parties, coupled with economic frustrations such as cost-of-living pressures and reactions to proposed reforms to capital gains tax and negative gearing, are key drivers.
While One Nation traditionally draws support from regional areas and older, non-university educated voters, recent trends show growing appeal in outer-suburban and working-class areas
