On Tuesday, EMRS will publish its quarterly voting intention poll.

Since Ms Giddings took over as leader in January last year such polls have shown the popularity of her party eroding to as little as 17 per cent and her personal approval as premier dropping from 27 per cent to 19 per cent.

An EMRS spokesman confirmed that the poll had been brought forward a week due to other work commitments, and would be released on Tuesday because Monday was a public holiday in Hobart.

On Wednesday, Ms Giddings will release a mid-year financial report and an update on how her budget savings strategies are tracking.

Unions and the opposition have expressed doubt as to whether all government departments will manage to meet their financial targets as of June 30.

Ms Giddings has refused to comment on the detail in either report ahead of their release.

However, she acknowledged last week that health faced the most daunting task, with $100 million in cuts, and may take longer to produce results.

Political analyst Richard Herr said while Ms Giddings shouldn't ignore such poll results nor should she place too much weight in them.

``Leaders like Lara Giddings have to take notice of the polls to make sure the public understand why she's making the decisions she's making, that at times are unpopular,'' he said.

``They (polls) do have value in helping take the temperature, but just because you have a slight fever doesn't mean you are sick - or terminally ill.''

Professor Herr, of the University of Tasmania, said if the results remained poor the government would need to address why people disliked the decisions being made, or why they misunderstood them.

He said the latest economic results were critical considering Ms Giddings had based her leadership credentials on her ability to improve the state's financial situation.
