Pollsters are already preparing for an interesting year ahead.

One Nation's support has surged, while Coalition support has slumped. So, are politicians, or policies, driving voter support?

Kos Samaras and Tony Barry from the Redbridge group join Fran Kelly for a special episode of The Party Room.Production note: This episode was recorded before the Bondi attack on December 14th.
