For the first time in over a decade, a Liberal will represent Trinity-Bay de Verde in the House of Assembly.

Steve Crocker secured a convincing victory for the resurgent Liberals, who have now won several byelections in recent months. According to unofficial results reported by Elections Newfoundland and Labrador, Crocker attracted almost 66 per cent of all ballots cast, defeating Progressive Conservative candidate Ron Johnson by over 1,700 votes.

Johnson, the father of former cabinet minister and district MHA Charlene Johnson, failed to hold onto the seat for the PCs.

Poll indicates Tas Liberals' popularity at lowest level since late 2010

Polling suggests the Tasmanian Liberals' popularity among voters has now fallen to its lowest level since November 2010.

Enterprise Marketing and Research Services (EMRS) figures based on a telephone survey of 1,000 people conducted last week showed 42 per cent would opt for the Liberals, 9 per cent less than at the March election.

Labor's primary vote had risen from 27 per cent in March to 31 per cent, while the Greens' share of the vote was 19 per cent, up from 14.

The Liberal vote has been in consistent decline throughout the year and EMRS said it was the biggest quarterly fall since August 2010.

Premier Will Hodgman had a comfortable lead as preferred leader with 50 per cent preferring Mr Hodgman and 22 per cent nominating Labor's Bryan Green.

Other pollsters suggested EMRS surveys consistently overestimate the size of the Tasmanian Greens vote.

Mr Hodgman said polls come and go and the Government was focussed on governing.

Former prime minister John Howard, who is visiting Tasmania, urged the Government not to pay too much attention to polling data.

"I think the Hodgman Government is a breath of fresh air and energy for Tasmania," Mr Howard said.

"Again it's difficult given the deleterious impact of the Labour-Green alliance.

WOODSTOCK -- Approximately 1,300 Liberals had cast preferential ballots for their next Federal Candidate for Egmont Saturday at Hernewood Intermediate School even before the election meeting was held and before candidates speeches were heard.

There were more than 2,100 people eligible to vote and organizers anticipated most would be there to cast ballots before voting closed at 4:30 p.m.

From the large crowd in the gymnasium for the speeches, Tina Mundys supporters were the loudest.

Candidates drew for speaking order and Robert Gallant went first, followed by Gilles Arsenault. A crowd of supporters accompanied Mundy to the podium when it was her turn to speak, and several of them went to the microphone to give their endorsement.
