The Queensland premier insists she's facing an uphill battle to hang onto power, despite a election-eve poll putting Labor in front and a top analyst saying the party will likely win a second term.
"Tomorrow is like climbing Mt Everest," Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Friday, having previously claimed underdog status for Labor in Saturday's election.
The latest Galaxy poll, published in the Courier-Mail on Friday, puts Labor ahead of the LNP, 52 per cent to 48 per cent in two-party preferred terms.
It also shows a sharp divide between voters in regional Queensland and those in the state's populous southeast, with Labor's vote down in the region.
But the ABC's political analyst Antony Green says it's in the crowded southeast - home to two thirds of Queensland's 93 electorates - where the election will be won or lost, and Labor appears on track to win.
"I'm not convinced it's that tight," Mr Green said on Friday.
"We seem to be seeing that the Labor party will increase their vote and maybe pick up some seats in the southeast. If that's what happens, it's very hard for the LNP to finish with more seats than Labor."
Deputy Premier Jackie Trad shored up the premier's underdog message on Friday, telling the ABC the outcome would likely rest on protracted preference counts.
"We're not going to know on the night, definitively," said Ms Trad, who is facing a strong challenge from the Greens in her electorate of South Brisbane.
LNP leader Tim Nicholls spent Friday morning refusing to say if he'd accept One Nation's support to form minority government, leaving the door open by saying he'll deal with the parliament Queenslanders elect.
He blamed the long, four-week campaign for a slip up on breakfast TV when he said: "If you want a stable majority government, then the best thing to do is to support your LNP, One N... uh ... LNP candidate at the election".
He later told reporters the stumble was a symptom of fatigue.
"Look, it's been a long campaign," he said. "I was simply going to say that you need to vote one for your local LNP candidate as I've probably said 500 times during this election campaign."
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson rubbished Friday's Galaxy poll, which showed support for her party has slumped.
"I don't believe that. I believe there is support for One Nation on the ground," she told the Seven network.
The poll showed an overall fall in primary support for One Nation from a high of 18 per cent to 12 per cent, but in the regions it was up to 20 per cent.
The party's state leader Steve Dickson, who will struggle to hold his Sunshine Coast seat of Buderim, said there's been no secret meetings with Mr Nicholls, but One Nation was open to working with the LNP.
"The reality is we will probably end up with the balance of power," he told the Nine network.
