State Labor party support in South Australia and Queensland has taken a dive in the latest Newspoll results, as voters move to back the coalition.
The Australian newspaper's Newspoll found that in Queensland, just 12 months after inheriting the position, Premier Anna Bligh would struggle to be re-elected without support from The Greens.
In South Australia Labor's longest-serving Premier Mike Rann is facing problems with the ALP's primary vote dipping to a 50-50 level with the state Liberals.
On a two-party preferred basis South Australian Labor shifted from 54 per cent support in the April to June quarter to 50 per cent for July to September, while Liberal support climbed from 46 per cent to 50 per cent during the same period.
Voter satisfaction with Mr Rann also dipped, dropping from 51 per cent in the April to June sector to 41 per cent for the three months ending last weekend.
The poll also showed a fall in voter satisfaction with Ms Bligh as premier. Her satisfaction rating tumbled from 62 per cent in the June quarter to 54 per cent in the September quarter.
On a two-party preferred basis Queensland Labor slumped from 55 per cent in the June quarter to 51 per cent in the latest poll.
However, that 51 per cent, which would see Ms Bligh scramble back into office, comes thanks to The Greens, whose primary vote is steady on nine per cent.
The Newspoll surveys were conducted by phone last weekend and questioned 876 people in South Australia and 1,132 interviews with voters in Queensland.
The Queensland state opposition says the poll shows voters are tired of the Labor government in Queensland.
Deputy Opposition Leader Mark McArdle said Queenslanders were sick of waiting for results from the government of Premier Anna Bligh and her predecessor Peter Beattie.
"Queenslanders are seeing the same old rhetoric, the same old promises by the Beattie-Bligh government and they are tired of that," Mr McArdle told ABC Radio Wednesday.
"What they want are real answers to the problems they have, whereas what they are getting from this government is a 12 year plan before any accountability takes place."
In reaction, Queensland Acting Premier Paul Lucas says the opposition's boost in the polls will be short-lived.
Mr Lucas said the LNP merger had given Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg a "bump" in the polls.
"They've painted over the cracks," he told ABC Radio Wednesday.
"Polls come and go.
The important thing is the next election will be tough.
"Mr Springborg has managed to cobble together the Liberal and National Party in some sort of ragtag assembly, but Mr Springborg has been here for 20 years now, he's a cunning politician."
