Slight dip for Tasmanian Liberals in latest opinion poll

ABC Labor and the Greens have both gained in the latest poll.

Support for the Liberal Party in Tasmania has fallen to its lowest level since May 2011.

The latest opinion poll from EMRS found voter support for the Liberals has fallen 2 per cent since February, to 48 per cent.

Labor picked up some of the vote increasing 2 points to 25 per cent, while the Greens experienced a 4 point jump to 21 per cent.

Will Hodgman remains preferred Premier with 54 per cent support ahead of Labor leader Bryan Green with 22 per cent.

EMRS spokesman Samuel Paske says the results reflect minor changes and should be treated with caution.

"While I'm sure both Labor and the Greens will be encouraged that this is the lowest level of support recorded by the Liberal Party since May 2011...they will no doubt look forward to August to determine whether or not the course of these changes is likely to be borne out in the future," he said.

Mr Hodgman insists he is more focussed on governing the state than analysing polling data.

He says the Government has a tough task ahead preparing its first budget and he is focussing on that.

"I'm focussed on delivering our agenda, there's a new Government with to grow our economy and to create jobs," he said.
