NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet is facing a steep uphill battle to secure a historic fourth term for his government as young voters desert the Coalition.
Two months out from the state election, a YouGov poll released on Sunday shows the Coalition two-party preferred vote has collapsed to to just 44 per cent compare 56 per for Labor led by Chris Minns.
The Coalition's primary vote sunk from 41.6 per cent at the 2019 election under former leader Gladys Berejiklian to just 33 per cent, while Labor's climbed from 33 to 39 per cent.
A new poll shows that young voters are turning to Labor to solve the cost of living crisis in NSW (pictured voting in 2019 federal election)
Perhaps the only good news for Mr Perrottet is that voters largely shrugged off his recent admission of wearing a Nazi uniform to his fancy dress 21st birthday party.
When asked whether the scandal would influence them voting for or against Mr Perrottet 67 per cent of voters said it would not, with only 14 per cent saying it made it much less likely.
Five per cent said it would make them more likely to vote for him, according to the poll published in the Sunday Telegraph.
