Tasmania's Liberal government is likely to be re-elected with a slim majority, according to polling released days out from Saturday's state election.
An EMRS survey of 1000 voters released on Tuesday shows the Liberals approval rating has surged to 46 per cent.
Their support has risen 12 points since December, when it was dead even with Labor at 34 per cent.
Political analyst Kevin Bonham believes the Liberals are on track to win 13 seats - the amount required to form a majority government - on March 3, with Labor getting 10 and the Greens two.
"The Liberals seem to have succeeded in convincing voters that only they can win majority government and that causes a bit of a snowball effect," he said.
Premier Will Hodgman's popularity as preferred leader has jumped 13 points to 48 per cent, while Opposition Leader Rebecca White has slid six points to 41.
Ms White, however, says Labor can still win.
"I've been really encouraged by the amount of support I've received right across Tasmania," she told reporters at Penguin while announcing $45 million for sustainable agriculture.
"It's not just about me, it's the strength of our team and the messages we're taking to the election."
Mr Hodgman didn't buy into the survey, saying the weekend's poll is the only one that matters.
Greens' support has dropped from 17 per cent to 12 per cent - their lowest level in eight years.
Leader Cassy O'Connor on Monday vowed to put forward a no confidence motion in a Liberal government if they don't reveal the origins of their donations before the election.
"We've seen over the last 24 hours what the Greens will do," Mr Hodgman said.
"It's a demonstration of the sort of chaos you'd expect when the Greens are part of a minority government."
Backing for the Jacqui Lambie Network (JLN) - which was earlier in the campaign rated a decent chance of picking up a seat in the state's north - has halved from eight per cent to four.
Jacqui Lambie told local radio her party would back the Liberals in the event of a hung parliament.
"There's no evidence that they're getting a seat," Mr Bonham said of the JLN's chances.
"In the electorate that is their strongest, Braddon, which is Lambie's home base, their candidates are quite obscure."
