The latest poll result for the Voice referendum shows more bad news for Yes with rapidly declining support across all demographics. For Yes to win from here it needs to turn things around fast and undecided voters are in the spotlight, writes Casey Briggs.
"Their only hope now is that polling is methodologically challenged when surveying for referendums, although history tells us otherwise," Samaras says.
Two of the three national polls published this week were conducted after the Prime Minister announced the October 14 referendum date, while Newspoll was in the field on either side of the announcement. "They could pull it off, but everything has to align. It is difficult because there isn't enough of those soft voters."Another common pattern across the polls is that the generations are not on the same page.
In the Essential poll — which has generally shown better figures for Yes than RedBridge — the "hard" No vote has grown from 38 to 41 per cent.
