Prime Minister Julia Gillard has acknowledged Labor has a lot of work to do in Queensland.

A new Galaxy poll, published in the Courier-Mail on Saturday, shows the party's primary vote has dropped to just 23 per cent in Queensland.

This is a slump of more than 10 points since the 2010 election.

The poll has the Liberal National Party (LNP) on a primary vote of 56 per cent.

The LNP leads 64-36 on a two-party preferred basis, assuming preferences are distributed the same way as at the last federalelection.

If these results were replicated at the polling booth, they would wipe out every federal Labor MP in Queensland including Kevin Rudd.

Ms Gillard visited troops in Townsville on Saturday before flying out to the United States for a NATO summit discussing Afghanistan.

It was her second visit to Queensland in just over a week.

"We've got a lot of hard work to do, including a lot of hard work here in Queensland," she told reporters in Townsville.

"I will be here in Queensland frequently talking to the people of Queensland about some of the difficult major reforms we're engaged in but ones which are right for our nation's future."

No future for Labor in Queensland. You are just paying lip service to Queenslanders Julia because of the horrendous polling you are deservedly receiving. You just dudded us on funding for infrastructure, you can't it have it both ways.
