Labor can win under Rudd, Qld poll says
The return of Kevin Rudd to the federal Labor leadership could propel the government to victory, a new poll says.
The Galaxy poll of 800 Queensland voters, taken on Wednesday and Thursday, found Labor's primary vote in the state would hit 47 per cent under Mr Rudd - 14 points above the vote if Julia Gillard continued as prime minister.
An analysis of the poll, published on The Courier-Mail website, also suggests that under Mr Rudd Labor could win back six of the seven Queensland seats it lost at the 2010 federal election.[/color]
Translated across the state, Labor would win 53 per cent of the two-party vote, up three points on its 2010 election result.
Without a leadership change, Tony Abbott's coalition would secure 55 per cent of the two-party vote and cruise to victory.
