Sky News host Graham Richardson says only NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro could have won the upcoming Eden-Monaro by-election for the Coalition.

Mr Richardson said “if Barilaro had run, then I believe Labor would lose on Saturday, such is the popularity of Barilaro in Queanbeyan,”

He said Mr Barilaro’s capacity to make inroads into what would normally be a solid Labor vote was remarkable.

Sky News host Andrew Bolt said “the Liberals should romp it in if Scott Morrison’s personal popularity is a guide”.

However, he pointed out there is often a disconnect between a leaders popularity and the broader popularity of the party in a particular region.
