A clear majority of Australians have turned against the Indigenous Voice, with 56 per cent of voters rejecting the proposal as the referendum campaign enters its final week.
The survey shows 49 per cent of voters oppose the Voice and 38 per cent support it, with another 13 per cent undecided.
An exclusive survey, conducted for this masthead by Resolve Strategic, found that 23 per cent agreed with the idea that the Voice would be a small and modest change to the way Australia was governed, but 44 per cent said it was an important and significant one. “This latest poll is relatively rare in that it shows the first stabilisation of the Yes vote since April,” Resolve director Jim Reed said.“It is too early to tell whether this is a brief hiatus, a bottoming out or the beginnings of a bounce-back for the Yes camp, but it will give them some hope that their dominant advertising spend and refreshed message is reaping rewards.”
Asked the exact wording of the referendum proposal, the survey shows 49 per cent of voters oppose the Voice and 38 per cent support it, with another 13 per cent undecided. “Our survey shows that undecided voters are splitting fairly equally between Yes and No when we force them to choose, which reflects what will happen to them at the ballot box,” Reed said.
