KEVIN Rudd is facing a battle to retain his own seat of Griffith and senior Liberal figures confident the Prime Minister's Brisbane electorate is "in play".
The Coalition will intensify efforts to win Mr Rudd's seat - held with a margin of 8.46 per cent - in a move likely to force the PM to spend more time protecting his own backyard.
News Corp Aust understands the Coalition's internal polling suggests Griffith has tightened up considerably and a Guardian Lonergan poll - released on Thursday - contains alarming news for Labor.
The poll of 958 voters shows Bill Glasson, the former Australian Medical Association head and Liberal candidate, leads Mr Rudd by 52 to 48 per cent on a two party preferred basis.
The shock poll findings suggests Mr Rudd could follow the lead of John Howard, who was turfed out of his own seat of Bennelong when he lost the prime ministership in 2007.
However, a survey of Newspolls shows the coalition is in danger of losing up to four seats around Brisbane following a surge of Queensland support for Labor.
