Liberals follows a 11-point drop over the previous eight months after their primary vote hit a six-year low.


The Labor and Greens parties have seen their primary vote drop slightly.


The latest poll shows primary vote support for the Liberal Party at 41 per cent, up 4 points since the July poll.


This figure is still down on their early stages of government in 2014.


The Labor Party primary vote has dropped one point to 31 per cent, while support for The Greens fell to 15 per cent.


The poll of 1000 Tasmanians was completed between August 23 to 26, during a sitting week in which Premier Will Hodgman was ejected from Parliament for disorderly conduct.


Despite this, support for Premier Will Hodgman as preferred Premier continued to be high with 50 per cent nominating him as their preferred leader.


Bryan Green’s approval rating is at 25 per cent while 25 per cent of those surveyed were unable to make a definitive choice between the two.
