Why 2026 will be a 'pollster's picnic'

Politics Now

About this episode

Pollsters are already preparing for an interesting year ahead.

One Nation's support has surged, while Coalition support has slumped. So, are politicians, or policies, driving voter support?

And with the Millennial and Gen Z cohort the largest voter bloc and growing, are the major parties switched on to this changing electorate? And what are the trends and issues that could define politics in 2026?

Kos Samaras and Tony Barry from the Redbridge group join Fran Kelly for a special episode of The Party Room.Production note: This episode was recorded before the Bondi attack on December 14th.
