Surveyed voters continue to favour Labor over the coalition government, as Pauline Hanson's One Nation grows in popularity, a new poll shows.
The latest Newspoll published in The Australian, shows, on a two-party preferred basis, Labor is at 55 per cent, to the government's 45.
That's an improvement for the opposition from the first Newspoll of 2017, which had the government's popularity slightly higher at 46 per cent to Labor's 54.
Since November Ms Hanson's One Nation party has doubled its primary vote, and is now sitting on 10 per cent.
The coalition's primary vote is at 34 per cent, while Labor's sits at 37 per cent.
Malcolm Turnbull remains ahead of Opposition Leader Bill Shorten as preferred prime minister, with 40 per cent favouring him, compared to Mr Shorten's 33 per cent.
