The UComms/ReachTel state-wide poll of 1019 voters taken on Thursday night also reveals that the Morrison government would have an impact on the voting intentions of 44 per cent of people.

Labor needs to win at least nine seats before it would be in a position to form a minority government. The Sun Herald poll comes as the Liberals launch their campaign in Sport Minister Stuart Ayres' seat of Penrith while Labor will have its launch in Revesby in East Hills.

East Hills is the Liberals' most marginal seat, and Labor sees Penrith as a critical seat for it to win back. Mr Ayres won the seat from Labor in a 2010 byelection.

It will ready in time for the airport's opening in 2026. A signature announcement for Labor will be a $2.7 billion commitment to Gonski school funding. Prime Minister Scott Morrison and federal Labor leader Bill Shorten will support their respective state leaders at the launches.

A senior Liberal said Mr Morrison was "popular in NSW" and would be an asset to the Berejiklian campaign while Mr Shorten was "largely disliked in NSW." "Voters might like Shorten in Victoria but they don't in NSW so I'd prefer to have Morrison by our side than having Shorten if I were Labor," the source said. The poll also asked voters about their views on Sydney stadiums, with more than 52 per cent reporting they oppose or strongly oppose public money being spent on the new Allianz stadium. Ms Berejiklian doubled down yesterday and said it was full steam ahead with demolishing the Moore Park stadium after a temporary injunction was dismissed by the courts.

Loading Asked whether demolition was underway this weekend, she said: “Well obviously that’s the intention … we need to keep going, we can’t stop now, that’s the strong message I’m sending”. She said forging ahead with plans, despite Labor’s calls for the government to halt works until the election, reflected the government’s desire to “do what’s in the best interest of NSW”. Mr Daley reignited the stadiums issue last week when he told 2BG broadcaster Alan Jones that he would sack him and most of the board of the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust if elected. During Friday night’s leaders debate on ABC TV, Ms Berejiklian accused Mr Daley of changing his position after he seemingly back-tracked on his declaration that the election would be a “referendum on stadiums”.

On Saturday, Mr Daley clarified his position, saying: “For some people absolutely it will be a referendum on stadiums, but as I said, the stadiums is emblematic of everything this government does, the poor planning, the secrecy”.

Labor's primary vote is steady at 34.1 per cent. But in good news for the Nationals, who are at most risk of losing seats, their primary vote is up.
