But Ms Palaszczuk's 'steady as she goes' approach to government has also won her personal support with voters, with the Galaxy Poll showing the Premier had lived up to the expectations of 51 per cent of respondents. The poll shows just 27 per cent found Ms Palaszczuk had failed to meet their expectations, with 55 per cent believing her to be the better choice for Premier over Mr Springborg, who won just 30 per cent. Voter satisfaction for the job Ms Palaszczuk is doing sat at 50 per cent, with 27 per cent unsatisfied. Mr Springborg claimed a 41 per cent satisfaction rate, with almost as many people, 39 per cent, unsatisfied with the job he was doing. Just under 40 per cent believed a change in government was 'good for the state', with almost as many, 37 per cent, had noticed little impact, while 21 per cent were still mourning the loss of the Newman government. Speaking in Brisbane, Mr Springborg was ambivalent about the poll result, insisting they "go up and down".

"In any electoral term, particularly early in a government, polls are going to go up and they are going to go down and that's going to happen many times throughout this particular term," he said. "That's always been the case. It's something I've witnessed over a long period of time and there will no change on this occasion, polls will go up and polls will go down. "It is a new government and it's a government that's been in power for 100 days and people are going to make different judgements on that particular government. "But it is quite clear that there are some things that they are calling on this government to do and that is to have a plan for jobs, a plan for economic development in Queensland. "People have a tendency to give a government a fair go. Indeed I think you will find that during the course of this term the polls will go up and the polls will go down."

Ms Palaszczuk said it was still "early days" and echoed her predecessor and Mr Springborg in that polls "go up and down". But she said it was the first time that Labor had hit 40 per cent in the primary vote, which was an achievement, given it was coming from a 26 per cent approval rating from just three years ago. "Look at where it was three years ago, compared to now," she said. She said the "steady ship" approach was winning Queenslanders over. "We have not seen the fights of the past three years. We are making sure that we are listening to Queenslanders," she said.

"I said from the outset that I will be a Premier for all of Queensland." "...I have honoured my number one commitment about restoring integrity and accountability, lowering down those caps and electoral donations, making sure they are transparent." Ms Palaszczuk said she believed it would take time for people to decide how they felt about her government. Stay informed. Like the Brisbane Times Facebook page.
