Queensland Premier Campbell Newman faces the prospect of a one-term reign as a new poll puts former Ashgrove MP Kate Jones ahead 55-45 on a two-party preferred basis.

A ReachTEL poll of voters commissioned by The Sunday Mail and Channel Seven also put Labor candidate Ms Jones ahead of Mr Newman when it came to first preference votes in the inner Brisbane electorate - 47.9 per cent to 40.7 per cent.

It was a slight fall for both from the last poll at the end of September.

When it came to first preference vote, the poll also showed 5.7 per cent would put the Greens first, 2.9 per cent the Palmer United Party while 1.4 per cent said other and 1.4 per cent were undecided.

The poll also showed the majority of voters were happy with Mr Newman's performance as premier with 29.8 per cent ranking him "very good", 10.6 per cent "good" and 11.1 per cent "satisfactory".

However, 29.7 per cent ranked him "very poor" and the remaining 18.8 per cent said he was doing a "poor job".

Ms Jones, who held Ashgrove from 2006 to 2012, announced her intention to run against Mr Newman at the upcoming state election back in September.

Mr Newman holds Ashgrove with a 5.7 per cent margin.

The ReachTEL poll of 671 Ashgrove voters was conducted last week.

The LNP came into power in 2012 after winning 78 seats to Labor's seven in a landslide victory.

The next state election is due sometime before June.

LNP chooses replacement for Redlands

The LNP chose its replacement for a Queensland MP who was dumped after an embarrassing sex scandal last year.

Redlands MP Peter Dowling failed to win preselection on Brisbane's bayside after his reputation was tarnished.

He sent explicit photos of himself to a mistress during an extra-marital affair and the images were leaked to the media with the incident making international headlines.

On Saturday afternoon the LNP chose former businessman Matt McEachan to replace him in the seat of Redlands at the next state election.

Mr McEachan is also a former senior ministerial adviser.

Mr Dowling said he would finish his term and would not be running as an independent.

Flegg to learn fate

Controversial Queensland Government MP Dr Bruce Flegg will know today whether he will be representing the LNP at the next state election.

He is in preselection contest with former Australian Medical Association Queensland president Dr Christian Rowan.

An LNP branch meeting in the Brisbane electorate voted against endorsing Dr Rowan as the new candidate in October.

Queensland MPs signed a letter supporting Dr Flegg.

The Premier, Deputy Premier, and Treasurer were among the supporters, but four colleagues - Lawrence Springborg, John-Paul Langbroek, Scott Emerson and Jann Stuckey - did not sign.

It came after the party executive initially ruled Dr Flegg ineligible to contest the seat.
