One Nation has surged to equal first place in the latest Sky News Pulse, tying with Labor on primary vote for the first time in history.

The Sky News Pulse / YouGov poll caps off a horror fortnight for Labor, which recorded its lowest level of public support since polling began.

Labor has fallen three points to 27 per cent, while One Nation rose two points to match it at 27 per cent.

Meanwhile, the Coalition’s primary vote remained at a near-historic low of 20 per cent, with the Greens climbing to a record high of 14 per cent.

The most recent polling, conducted from April 14-21, surveyed 1501 Australians in a representative sample of the voting population. 

Despite Labor’s weakening primary vote – the lowest recorded for the party – the government would still win an election if held today.

Labor led the Coalition 53–47 on a two-party-preferred basis, while One Nation jumped two points to trail Labor 52-48.

One Nation beat Labor on a two-party-preferred basis among working class, rural and older voters.

The minor party also held a two-party-preferred lead over Labor in both Queensland and South Australia.

The result confirms One Nation’s dramatic surge in the polls since the 2025 federal election, when it attracted just 6.4 per cent of the vote.

YouGov’s Director of Public Data, Paul Smith, said the figures painted a major challenge for the Coalition, which has languished in the polls.

“Labor would win an election today by a clear margin despite Labor’s primary vote being at its lowest since the last election,” he said.

“The Coalition’s focus on immigration which One Nation are seen as best at handling, seems to have helped One Nation more than the Coalition.”

The rise of One Nation comes amid growing economic anxiety and voter dissatisfaction, particularly among working-class Australians.

The poll found 63 per cent of working-class respondents had struggled to pay for or delayed healthcare due to the cost of living.

Meanwhile, the working class overwhelmingly turned their backs on the major parties, with 34 per cent preferring One Nation, compared to 22 per cent for Labor and 16 per cent for the Coalition.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s satisfaction ratings suffered amid his government’s response to the unfolding fuel crisis, triggered by the US-Iran War.

Mr Albanese recorded a net satisfaction of negative 19, falling three points from the previous poll.

At the same time, 57 per cent of voters said they would support increasing fossil fuel production to boost resilience to global shocks, even if it undermined Labor’s legislated net zero targets.

Also, 63 per cent said they would support a proposal to spend $20 billion over four years in order to achieve a 90-day fuel supply reserve.

Energy Minister Chris Bowen recently revealed that fuel reserves stood at 38 days of petrol, 28 days of jet fuel and 31 days of diesel.

While the Albanese government has slumped in popularity, the Coalition has failed to capitalise on voter dissatisfaction.

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor (39 per cent) trailed Mr Albanese (44 per cent) as preferred prime minister.

His approval rating hovered at negative five per cent, with 38 per cent of people satisfied with his performance as Opposition Leader and 43 per cent dissatisfied.

Meanwhile, Ms Hanson was even further behind as preferred prime minister with 39-50 per cent against Mr Albanese.

Ms Hanson was, however, the preferred prime minister among working class voters, older voters and rural voters.

The One Nation leader suggested that Mr Albanese had her party at the front of his mind, after he called for the country to “move together as one nation” on Monday.

Mr Albanese signed off his ABC 7.30 interview on Monday by saying it was “so important that we all work together as one nation”.

“It might be a coincidence, but he was even wearing a tie in our signature One Nation orange,” Ms Hanson said in a social media post on Tuesday. 

“What do you think, are we the party on the Prime Minister’s mind?”
