Labor could lose four seats it holds in Queensland, a new poll shows.
The Courier Mail/Galaxy poll also suggests Labor won't take two other seats, which are now notionally Labor.
The poll surveyed 800 voters in the marginal seats of Bonner, Forde, Herbert and Longman and shows Labor trailing the Coalition 49 to 51 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.

The poll, conducted on Sunday and Monday, also shows Opposition Leader Tony Abbott trails Prime Minister Julia Gillard as preferred prime minister by just four points, 39 to 43 per cent.

The seats of Dickson and Herbert, currently held by the Coalition but notionally Labor after redistributions, are expected to remain with the conservative parties.
If Labor loses 17 seats across the nation it will lose office.
