NSW election set to be close

The latest Newspoll, has the NSW coalition neck and neck with Labor at 50-50 on a two party preferred basis, less than two weeks out from the state election.

Less than two week out from the NSW election neither major party has been able to build a large enough lead in the opinion polls, suggesting that whoever wins government after March election will need the support of minor parties.

The latest Newspoll, published by the Australian newspaper for Tuesday, has the NSW coalition neck and neck with Labor at 50-50 on a two party preferred basis.

The coalition's primary vote is at 40 per cent, up from 39 per cent two weeks ago and Labor is at 36 per cent, unchanged from a fortnight ago.

Gladys Berejiklian is still the preferred premier, at 41 per cent, and Opposition Leader Michael Daley at 34 per cent.
