The May-June election is well under way, and with only two Governor candidates left, it’s now a head to head battle to the finish line. There is also a clear polarisation between the two candidates when it came to respondents’ choices on State Representative candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shout News can reveal that the leading candidate for Governor is Ella Bright-Starr leading with 60% of respondents primary vote against Liam Cavanagh’s 40% This is a substantial lead, but one that can quickly change in under a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ella Bright-Starr voters were more likely to come from an apolitical background, with ~50% saying they didn’t vote in the last general election. 25% said they had voted for Damien Key and 25% said they had voted for Becks Lawson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These voters were more likely to be business owners, and those in the creative and entertainment fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worryingly, 23% of respondents were unsure if they were going to vote this way on election day. 30% of Ella supporters were happy with their candidates policies. 39% were unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liam Cavanagh voters were more likely to have come from a politically engaged background, and previously voted for Damien Key with nearly half saying they had voted for the current Governor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
