A new poll has found that Pauline Hanson's One Nation is the most popular political party in the country, with support rising by four points to 31 per cent.
The poll was conducted by the Redbridge Group and Accent Research, and published today in The Australian Financial Review.
It put Labor's primary vote at 28 per cent, down three points since the last survey one month ago.
That was before the federal budget.
However, Labor still leads One Nation 51 per cent to 49 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis.

Protesters have returned to Victoria Park in Brisbane over the weekend, trying to stop the construction of a stadium that would be used for the 2032 Olympics.
Many people in the Aboriginal community oppose the $3.6 billion project.
They had set up a tent embassy to try and stop the stadium, but they were physically removed by police on Friday.
Protesters returned on Sunday to hold a rally, where Yagara Elder Gaja Kerry Charlton explained the site is sacred to Aboriginal people.
"This action is deeply wounding us. And many First Nations people here on Yagara country. And so I just want to say thank you to all of you, each of you for coming today to be a part of it, and getting the message through, to stop the needless destruction of this very ancient and beautiful and special and meaningful site."

The Israeli military has seized control over a strategic castle in southern Lebanon.
It's the deepest that Israeli forces have pushed into Lebanon for more than a quarter century.
They took Beaufort castle, near the Litani river, despite agreeing to a ceasefire more than six weeks ago.
The Lebanese militant group, Hezbollah, is also targeting Israeli army positions nearby, as well as in northern Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered troops to move further into Lebanon.
"I have instructed the IDF to expand the manoeuvre in Lebanon. The capture of Beaufort is a dramatic stage and a dramatic change in the policy we are leading. We have broken the barrier of fear. We are taking the initiative, we are operating on all fronts – in Syria, in Gaza, in Lebanon. We have established security zones beyond our borders to protect our communities."
The United Nations Security Council was due to hold an emergency meeting about Israel's military actions on Monday.
That meeting was requested by France, which has criticised Israel's actions.
Qatar has also condemned Israel's expanding attacks, saying they violate international law.
