Daniel Andrews’ Labor government is on course for a thumping win in Saturday’s election after extending its lead over its Coalition rivals in the latest exclusive opinion poll commissioned by The Age.

The poll predicts a Labor win on Saturday by 54 to 46 per cent of the statewide two-party preferred vote, a greater margin than it achieved in 2014.

This suggests that several Coalition seats are now in danger of falling to an increasingly confident ALP.

The results show the Coalition going backward since the previous survey, in October, when it trailled Labor 48-52 and it is the second consecutive statewide poll for The Age in which the ALP has pulled ahead.
