Support for voice has dropped by 21 percentage points nationally in the past year, according to Guardian Australia’s poll tracker
Much of this change has come from people who were previously classified as “unsure” or “soft” yesses and nos, according to the Accent Research principal, Dr Shaun Ratcliff, who ranfor the group behind the Uluru statement from the heart. The number of undecided voters has declined by 11 points over the past year, according to the Guardian Australia tracker. This can be a noisy measure, as there are differing definitions of undecided voters and not all pollsters report this figure.
“Salience has definitely increased and so some of the increase in the no vote is people who had been parking themselves in ‘don’t know’ because they really didn’t know much about it and so weren’t confident enough to express an opinion.Hard no has increased and hard yes has decreased Support for the voice commanded majorities among Coalition, Labor, Greens and minor party/independent voters last year. But this has decreased for all but Greens voters.
