Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 27-Nov-15

A special snap SMS Morgan Poll has found that 61 per cent of Australians disapprove of Australia sending ground combat troops to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, while 39 per cent approve. The poll, which was carried out on 26-27 November 2015, also shows that a majority of supporters of all political parties are against Australia sending ground troops to Iraq and Syria. The findings contrast with a Morgan Gallup Poll conducted in May 1965, near the beginning of the Vietnam War, which showed that 52 per cent of Australian electors were in favour of the decision to send 800 Australian troops to South Vietnam, while 37 per cent were opposed.
