Australia's centre-left Labor government is likely to retain power in a close-run national election this weekend, two opinion polls showed on Thursday, with voters ranking U.S. President Donald Trump's policies among their top concerns. A RedBridge-Accent poll published by News Corp newspapers on Thursday showed Labor leading 53%-47% against the conservative Liberal-National coalition under Australia's two-party preferential voting system, where votes are distributed until a winner is declared. Labor could win the election in its own right or form a minority , the RedBridge poll said, marking a reversal of sentiment from February, when voters wanted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese out of office.

Australia's centre-left Labor Party is poised to win the upcoming federal election, according to recent polls, which show them leading the conservative Liberal-National coalition by a significant margin. The election, set to take place on May 21, 2022, will determine whether Labor leader Anthony Albanese will become the next prime minister, replacing the incumbent Scott Morrison. Key issues influencing voters include the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and economic recovery. Labor's campaign focuses on addressing these concerns with promises of more ambitious climate targets, increased social spending, and a stronger focus on job creation.
