Internal polling by the Victorian conservative opposition party is showing the coalition can vie for power at the next Victorian state election on Nov. 26, despite publicly released surveys pointing to another “Danslide” for Labor, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy says.

A Reserve Political Monitor poll for The Age last month gave Labor a lead of 42-28 percent on first preference votes, indicating the government would enjoy a crushing victory at next month’s election.
