Voters have cooled on One Nation in two new polls, with support for the anti-immigrant party falling to its lowest level in months.

The Australian‘s Newspoll on Monday showed One Nation’s primary vote had fallen from 30 per cent to 28 per cent.

It was the party’s lowest level since core support hit 27 per cent in May and a drop of three points since achieving a record high of 31 per cent in June.

Party leader Pauline Hanson’s likeability also took a dive. Her net approval rating fell to -9, with 43 per cent of voters satisfied with her performance and 52 per cent dissatisfied.

That compares to late August, when 47 per cent of voters said they were satisfied with the One Nation leader’s performance and 48 per cent expressed dissatisfaction.

The primary votes of Labor (29 per cent), One Nation (28 per cent) and the Coalition (20 per cent) were all in the 20s for the first time on record.

In a separate Resolve Political Monitor poll, One Nation’s primary vote was down by two percentage points in the past month and four points since the middle of the year.

The survey for Nine newspapers found voters’ views on who would win the next election shifted significantly, with those expecting One Nation to win falling by eight percentage points to 20 per cent.

People expecting Labor to win fell by one point to 32 per cent, while 20 per cent said they expected the Coalition to win, up two percentage points in a month.

Anthony Albanese increased his lead as preferred prime minister by three points to 32 per cent. Hanson gained one point to 26 per cent and Opposition Leader Angus Taylor edged up a point to 22 per cent.

The Coalition has consistently trailed One Nation in polls since the start of the year, while some surveys have put the anti-immigration party ahead of Labor on primary support.

‘No time for him’: Hanson gives her Liberal leader pick

Earlier, Hanson revealed her pick to head the Liberals after dismissing current leader Angus Taylor as a “smarmy management consultant”.

Taylor became the first sitting Opposition Leader to address the Australian Conservative Political Action Conference in Brisbane on Saturday as the Coalition and One Nation vied for the fractured right-wing vote.

But Hanson emerged the crowd favourite as she made jibes about her conservative rivals while also offering to “put personal history aside” and team up with the Coalition to remove Labor from government.

Opposition frontbenchers headlined on Sunday as their leaders swapped the conference stage for the morning media rounds.

Hanson said she did not “want to be around the table” with the Liberals. However, she said they should still work together to get rid of Labor as it would be extremely hard for either One Nation or the Coalition to govern alone.

A day after suggesting Taylor – a former partner at global consulting firm McKinsey & Company – was a “smarmy management consultant”, Hanson also dismissed shadow treasurer and Liberal leadership hopeful Tim Wilson as “full of himself” and “woke”.

“He put us last in the last election, called us a racist party,” she told News24.

“If they’re thinking about Tim Wilson, I think you better think again because I’ve got no time for that man.”

Hanson said she got on “reasonably well” with former Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who is reportedly mulling a return to politics after losing his seat at the 2022 election.

But she said former prime minister and current party president Tony Abbott was the person with the best chance of leading the Liberals.

Taylor said he would welcome Frydenberg “playing whatever role he’s able to play” as he needed “every good Liberal with shoulder to the wheel” in the lead-up to the next election.

But he poured cold water on an idea floated by the former treasurer to raise the GST while lowering income taxes.

“We will not be raising the GST in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis … we’ll put Australia and Australians first, but we won’t be raising taxes,” he told ABC’s Insiders program on Sunday.

In an extract from his soon-to-be-published memoir, Frydenberg called on the Coalition to ignore calls to appeal to the extremes and instead target the electoral centre.

But during his speech to the conservative conference, Taylor described the Coalition under his leadership alongside the Nationals’ Matt Canavan as “unashamedly on the right”.

Opposition energy spokesman Dan Tehan took the stage on Sunday, telling the audience the coalition would axe Labor’s policies to achieve net-zero emissions.

Earlier, Tehan said he was using “every forum available” to inform Australians of the Coalition’s energy agenda. His Labor counterpart, Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, said Liberals were competing with One Nation on “crazy”.

“We’re going to see a whole bunch of crazy over the next few days as the Liberal Party and the One Nation party try to outdo each other on the race to the right and the race to the bottom,” he said.

Some mainstream journalists were given “fake news” media passes and were not allowed to put questions to leaders at the conference. Others were refused entry outright.
