Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk may find herself out of power after just one term, with a new poll showing a surprise slump in popularity for her minority Labor government.

The Reachtel poll of 4000 voters, published in the Sunday Mail, shows the Liberal National Party opposition leading the ALP 52-48 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis.

Just four weeks ago, The Australian's Newspoll had Labor leading the LNP by 53 to 47 per cent of the vote after preferences.

But the primary vote for both parties has plunged, with Labor now on 32.1 from 37.5 per cent at the 2015 state election, and the LNP going from 41.3 to 30.6, the Sunday Mail reported.

Ms Palaszczuk's personal popularity has also taken a hit, with the Reachtel poll having her deadlocked with Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls as preferred premier 50:50.

The Newspoll had her 10 points ahead of Mr Nicholls, who was treasurer during the unpopular Campbell Newman years, which ended in 2015 with one of the country's biggest electoral routs.
