Victorians will next go to the polls in November 2026, with Labor under Premier Jacinta Allan seeking a fourth
term in government.
An article by Kieran published on the 13 th of July says voters are showing signs of drifting back to the major
parties, but notes only 24% of survey respondents nominated Allan as their preferred premier, while 43%
backed Liberal Jess Wilson.
That said, the article also says only 23 per cent of Victorians remain uncommitted ahead of November 28, with
more than three quarters of the 1,000 people surveyed by Resolve Political Monitor saying they had made up
their minds.
