The first Ashgrove poll of the Queensland election campaign finds Labor’s Kate Jones maintaining her lead over Campbell Newman. The Seven Network reports that a ReachTEL automated phone poll of 843 respondents conducted last night finds Campbell Newman trailing in Ashgrove by 53-47 on two-party preferred, with Labor’s Kate Jones on 47.6% of the primary vote compared with 43.7% for Newman, and the Greens on 5.4%. This marks a narrowing of the gap compared with the last such poll a month ago, which had it at 55-45 on two-party and 47.9% to 40.7% on the primary vote. The electorate was polled four times last year, with Labor in the lead each time: by 53-47 in a Galaxy poll conducted in February, and 53-47, 58-42, 56-44 and 55-45 in ReachTEL polls respectively conducted in July, early September, late September and December. The latter two polls were conducted after Kate Jones announced her intention to run.
