Poll points to Tasmanian Liberals winSource AAP
UPDATED 6:40 PM - 13 FEB 2014Tasmania looks set to have a majority Liberal government on March 15, according to the first independent poll published since the state election was called.
The EMRS poll published on Thursday puts Liberal support at 50 per cent to Labor's 23 and the Greens' 17 when undecided voters are excluded.
With the 23 per cent yet to make up their minds, Premier Lara Giddings' government polls just 16 per cent to the Liberals' 39 and Greens' 14.
Opposition leader Will Hodgman is preferred premier with 48 per cent, while Ms Giddings is polling just 21 and Greens leader Nick McKim 13.
The poll is the first since Ms Giddings announced her party's power-sharing arrangement with the Greens was over.
But it was taken before the premier, who is also treasurer, announced a $450 million budget blowout over the next four years.
