One Nation leader Pauline Hanson will end 2025 on a relative high, with new polling showing her likeability rating has surged in the past year.

According to new figures from Resolve Political Monitor for Nine newspapers, Hanson's likeability among voters jumped from -13 at the end of 2024 to +3 by the end of 2025.

While still on the lower scale of likeability ratings for federal politicians, it puts the Queensland senator in close to the most-liked position of her career, mirroring a surge in primary support for her party this year.

Hanson also recorded the second-highest "familiarity" score of 93 per cent, behind only Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at 97 per cent.

Her newest follower, New England MP Barnaby Joyce, also saw his popularity rocket by 18 points – though he still remains one of just two politicians surveyed with a net unlikeable rating, having shifted from -22 to -4.

While Albanese was rated at +9 likeability (up from -17 at the end of 2024), the pollsters noted these figures were compiled before the Bondi Beach terror attack on December 14.

Albanese has been attacked by political opponents and members of the community, including victims' families, in the aftermath, and his government has been blamed for not doing enough to stem rising antisemitism in Australia.

A smaller Resolve poll, with a greater margin of error, conducted after the attack, saw Albanese's likeability drop from +9 to -5, while opposition leader Sussan Ley went from +8 in the pre-attack poll to +1.

The pre-attack poll showed Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie retain her crown as Australia's most-liked politician with a rating of +15, though she was joined by fellow Independent David Pocock.
