VIC:Leadership rumblings as poll heaps pressure on premier

Jacinta Allan is facing renewed leadership speculation after fresh polling reinforced her unpopularity as Victorian premier and Labor's electoral slide.

Victorian Labor leadership ructions have been bubbling away for months in the lead up to the November 28 state election.

Nine newspapers' bi-monthly Victorian Resolve poll was released on Monday ahead of a regular Labor caucus meeting on Tuesday.

It will be the final time the Labor caucus comes together before state parliament reconvenes in late July, unless a special meeting is called.

The Resolve poll shows One Nation's primary support up three percentage points, Labor dropping one point to 26 per cent and the coalition also on 26 per cent, down three points.

Ms Allan was dogged by fresh leadership questions last week after a Freshwater poll indicated Labor's primary vote had slumped to 23 per cent and 39 per cent of Labor voters wanted her replaced as leader.
