The Newspoll in The Australian on Tuesday has shown federal Labor's primary support has dropped three percentage points to 28 per cent in the past two weeks - just one point above the 26.9 per cent figure the party reached in its devastating loss in Queensland.

With Labor's support falling away, the coalition's primary vote has climbed four points to 47 per cent - about three percentage points short of the vote the Queensland Liberal National Party achieved in its victory over Anna Bligh's government last Saturday.

The Tony Abbott-led coalition also extended its two-party-preferred lead over Labor to 57 per cent to 43 per cent. Two weeks ago the Coalition led Labor by 53 per cent to 47 per cent.
