A Newspoll survey taken two weeks ago in the previously Nationals-held seats of the three remaining independents showed that in the seats of Kennedy, in far north Queensland, and New England and Lyne, in northeast NSW, 54 per cent of voters wanted the independents to support the Coalition, while 34 per cent wanted them to back Labor.
The strongest support for favouring a Coalition government is in Mr Katter's seat of Kennedy, at 56 per cent. The lowest support for the Coalition is in Mr Oakeshott's seat of Lyne, at 52 per cent to 38 per cent for Labor.
The Newspoll survey of 1396 voters, more than 400 in each seat, taken exclusively for The Weekend Australian on Wednesday and Thursday last week, also shows Mr Windsor's seat of New England favouring a Coalition government over a Labor government by 55 per cent to 35 per cent.
