Support for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party has risen fourfold...

Support for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party has risen fourfold across the nation since the election and almost doubled to 10 per cent in Queensland, Newspoll shows.
Newspoll surveys taken exclusively for The Australian since the July 2 election reveal support in the House of Representatives for One Nation has climbed to 6 per cent, up from 1.3 per cent on polling day.
One Nation appears to have made its gains over the past four months from other minor parties and independents, as well as taking a slice of support from the Turnbull government.
By contrast, support for the other non-major party force at the election, the Nick Xenophon Team, has remained largely unchanged at about 2 per cent nationally and 21 per cent in its home state of South Australia.
One Nation’s primary vote has jumped to 10 per cent in Queensland, up from 5.5 per cent at the election, where it ran 12 lower-house candidates. The party vote there is also higher than its Senate election vote of 9.2 per cent, which delivered seats for Senator Hanson and Malcolm Roberts.
In NSW, One Nation’s support is 6 per cent, from only 0.6 per cent achieved by its three candidates and, again, is higher than the 4.1 per cent Senate vote that elected Brian Burston.
Similarly, One Nation is polling at 6 per cent in Western Australia, where it did not run any lower-house candidates but where Rodney Culleton won a spot in the Senate with a vote of 4 per cent.
In South Australia, One Nation is polling at 4 per cent and in Victoria at 3 per cent, both slightly higher than in the Senate election. The party did not run lower-house candidates in those states in July.
Senator Hanson and her colleagues hold the balance in the Senate because the government cannot pass legislation opposed by Labor and the Greens without One Nation’s support.
Since the election Senator Hanson has courted controversy, including saying in her first speech that Australia was in danger of being swamped by Muslims.

"So, will the penny finally drop and the major parties and journalists of all persuasions now face reality and write factual reports on the mood of the electorate.
A Press Gallery trying to maintain an elitist position makes them look stupid."
mmmmmmmm...!
