VIC:Premier 'all in' as dire poll fuels leadership chatter

Victoria's under-siege premier is staring down dire polling and leadership rumblings, declaring she's "all in" for an election fight.

Flanked by women at the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation's Melbourne office on Tuesday, Premier Jacinta Allan dismissed speculation of a brewing leadership challenge.

Victorian Labor's primary vote has slumped to 23 per cent, compared to the coalition's 27 per cent, while a surging One Nation has shot to 25 per cent, according to a Freshwater Strategy poll conducted for the Herald Sun.

If the findings are replicated at the November state election, the 12-year-old Labor government would likely be turfed from office - although the coalition faces an uphill battle to govern in its own right.

Over 60 per cent of respondents said Ms Allan should be replaced ahead of the election, including 39 per cent of Labor voters.
