Carroll and Wilson may be the faces of the election, but these big names are behind the scenes

Victorian Labor politicians are worried about a recent poll that places the party in third place with an 18% primary vote. The DemosAU/PremierNational survey, released by the Herald Sun on Monday, shows Labor dropped seven points to 18%, while the Coalition sits at 33% and One Nation at 21%. Meanwhile, the Greens rose to 17%, a three-point gain since September, shifting the two-party preferred margin to 56-44 in favor of the Coalition. Researcher George Hasanakos noted that if this trend continues, most seats could see a contest between the Coalition and One Nation, leading to a clear Coalition majority. On election night, the Victorian electoral commission will determine the two-candidate-preferred count based on polling data and preference flow analysis.
