The federal coalition could lose seven seats in Queensland, including that of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, if an election were held now, a new poll shows.
But the votes are going to Labor, not One Nation, according to the Galaxy poll published in Monday's Courier-Mail.
Labor's primary vote has risen by two points to 33 per cent since last year's election, while the Liberal National Party's is stuck on 35 - well down from the 43 per cent it had at last year's federal election.
Pauline Hanson's party, which is strongest in Queensland, has slipped from 18 per cent in February to 13 per cent, but is still above the 5.5 per cent it won at the election.
On a two-party preferred basis, the Liberal National Party and Labor are neck and neck at 50 per cent.
The swing against the government would be four per cent, according to Galaxy, meaning the government could lose seven of its seats.
That would be more than enough to see Opposition Leader Bill Shorten lead Labor into government.
