Nine Newspapers has the monthly Resolve Strategic poll has Labor unchanged on 30%, the Coalition up one to 39%, the Greens down one to 11%, One Nation steady on 5%, independent down one to 11% and others up one to 4%.

The two leaders are tied 37-37 on preferred prime minister, after Albanese led 38-35 last time.
