Now 49% of Australians say the Australian Government should ‘not take sides’ in the current crisis in Israel and Gaza, according to a special Roy Morgan online survey conducted in conjunction with the Islamic Society of South Australia. This compares to 19% who say the Government ‘should do more to support Palestine’ and 17% who say the ‘Australian Government should do more to support Israel’; 15% of respondents don’t know. The survey also found that 39% of Australians say the Government is ‘favouring the Israelis’ compared to only 10% who say the Government is ‘favouring the Palestinians’. Meanwhile, 80% of Australians say Hamas should return the Israeli hostages unconditionally, while 40% of Australians say the Israeli army should withdraw their armed forces from Gaza immediately and 33% say they should not. This special Roy Morgan online survey was conducted with an Australia-wide cross-section of 1,006 Australians aged 18+ from Thursday November 16 to Monday November 20.

The L-NP Coalition would now win a Federal Election as ALP two-party preferred support plunged 4.5% to 49.5% and is now behind the L-NP Coalition on 50.5% (up 4.5%) after all six States voted against the proposed ‘Voice to Parliament’ at the nation-wide referendum on Saturday October 14, according to the latest Roy Morgan Poll taken in the first week after the referendum from Monday October 16 – Sunday October 22, 2023. This is the first time the Roy Morgan Poll shows the Coalition leading the Albanese Government on a two-party preferred basis since the Federal Election. Primary support for the ALP was down 3% to 32% and the Coalition increased 2% to 36%. Another 32% chose another party or independent, including the Greens on 14% and One Nation on 4.5%. The results are based on Roy Morgan surveying of a representative sample of 1,383 Australian electors.

Support for The Voice drops to 46% of Australians – down 7% points since December 2022 as Liberals vow to oppose

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 21-Apr-23

A special Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey has found that 46% of Australians would now vote ‘Yes’ to establish an ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament’, down 7% points since December 2022. Some 39% (up 9% points) would vote ‘No’, and a further 15% (down 2% points) are undecided. If the ‘Undecided’ respondents are removed the split in favour of the ‘Yes’ vote is 54% cf. 46%. However, past experience shows that ‘Undecided’ voters are far more likely to end up as a ‘No’ rather than a ‘Yes’ vote. This trend has been observed even over the last few months as ALP and Greens supporters who were ‘Undecided’ have been far more likely to move to the ‘No’ vote rather than becoming a ‘Yes’ vote. Meanwhile, Support for ‘The Voice’ is virtually unchanged for ALP supporters at 75% (down 1% point since December) and Greens supporters at 89% (unchanged). In contrast, support for ‘The Voice’ has dropped among voters for the L-NP, One Nation, Independent and Other Parties since December. This special Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey was conducted with an Australia-wide cross-section of 1,181 Australian electors aged 18+ from April 14-18.

Albanese Government support down 2% points after superannuation changes: ALP 54.5% cf. L-NP 45.5%, according to the latest Roy Morgan Poll

Albanese Government support is down 2% points to 54.5% compared to the L-NP on 45.5% (up 2% points) on a two-party preferred basis, according to the latest Roy Morgan Poll – the closest result so far this year. The second consecutive weekly drop in support for the Albanese Government came after Treasurer Jim Chalmers announced changes to the taxation rules for superannuation. Australians with over $3 million in superannuation will now face an increased level of taxation and importantly the limit has not been indexed to inflation – which is currently at a 32-year high with an annual rate of 7.8%. Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating was virtually unchanged this week at 96 with 40% of Australians saying the country is ‘going in the right direction’ while 44% say the country is ‘going in the wrong direction’. This Roy Morgan Poll was conducted over the last week with an Australia-wide cross-section of 1,216 electors.

Latest Roy Morgan Poll: Support for the Albanese Government down after discussion about changing superannuation rules while Government Confidence plunges 6.5pts to 95.5 – lowest since the Federal Election

Original article by Roy Morgan
Market Research Update – Page: Online : 28-Feb-23

Today’s Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention shows the ALP support down 2% points to 56.5% compared to the L-NP on 43.5% (up 2% points) on a two-party preferred basis. The drop in support for the Albanese Government came after Treasurer Jim Chalmers raised the prospect of changing taxation rules for those with large superannuation account balances of over $3 million. The issue of changes to superannuation was easily the largest media story last week with almost 800 media mentions during the week – about twice as many as the second-placed Mardi Gras in Sydney. In addition, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating has plunged 6.5pts to 95.5 – the lowest rating since last year’s Federal Election. Now 39% of Australians (down 3.5% points) say the country is ‘going in the right direction’ compared to 43.5% (up 3% points) who say the country is ‘going in the wrong direction’. Although support for the Albanese Government took a hit the ALP is still well ahead on a two-party preferred basis and leads on primary vote: ALP 37% cf. L-NP 34.5%. Over a quarter of Australians, 28.5%, say they will vote for a minor party or independent including 13.5% for the Greens, 4% for One Nation, 8.5% for independents and 2.5% for other parties.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 22-Jun-22

The latest Roy Morgan Poll shows that the ALP’s lead over the L-NP is now 6% points on a two-party preferred basis, a month after the Federal Election: ALP 53% (down 1% point in a week) ahead of the L-NP 47% (up 1% point). This is still an increase for the ALP on the Federal Election result: ALP 52% cf. L-NP 48%. If a Federal Election had been held last weekend the ALP would have won easily. Primary support for the ALP is up 2% points to 36% but it still trails the L-NP, unchanged on 37%. Support for the Greens was down 1.5% points to 11%. Support for One Nation was up 0.5% points to 4% and support for Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party was down 0.5% points to 0.5%. Support for Other Parties was up 2.5% points to 7% while support for Independents was down 3% points to 4.5%. Analysis by State shows that the ALP leads in four States (Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania), while the L-NP leads in NSW and the two parties are even in Queensland. Meanwhile, the weekly Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating is down 2pts to 105, the third consecutive week of declines after reaching a high of 111.5 immediately after the Federal Election. Some 42% (down 2% points) of Australians now say the country is ‘heading in the right direction’, while 37% (unchanged) say the country is ‘heading in the wrong direction’. This Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention and Government Confidence was conducted via telephone and online interviewing of 1,401 Australian electors aged 18+ from Monday June 13 to Sunday June 19.

Original article by Roy Morgan
Market Research Update – Page: Online : 27-Apr-22

A Roy Morgan Poll conducted during the second week of the federal election campaign shows the L-NP gaining 0.5% points on a two-party preferred basis, but still well behind the ALP (54.5% cf. L-NP 45.5%). This is the closest since early November 2021, when the two-party preferred lead was 7% points: ALP 53.5% cf. L-NP 46.5%. If a Federal Election had been held last weekend the ALP would have won a clear majority. Primary support for the L-NP was unchanged at 35.5% and remains just ahead of the ALP on 35%, also unchanged from a week ago. Analysis by State shows that the ALP now leads in four States on a two-party preferred basis, but the L-NP has regained the lead in Queensland and has increased its lead in Western Australia. Meanwhile, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating increased 6pts to 92 in the second week of the election campaign; now 38.5% (up 3.5% points) of Australians say the country is ‘heading in the right direction’, while 46.5% (down 2.5% points) say the country is ‘heading in the wrong direction’. This Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention and Government Confidence was conducted via telephone and online interviewing of 1,393 Australian electors aged 18+ from Monday April 18-24.

ALP (57%) increases lead over the L-NP (43%) in mid-February as return of Parliament fails to provide a boost

Original article by Roy Morgan
Market Research Update – Page: Online : 23-Feb-22

ALP support is now at 57% (up 0.5% points since late January) cf. L-NP on 43% (down 0.5% points) on a two-party preferred basis, according to the latest Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention conducted during February. The swing to the ALP came as Parliament resumed sitting in early February but there was no let-up for the Government with tough questions for Prime Minister Scott Morrison during an appearance at the National Press Club. A week later sexual abuse survivor, and former Australian of the Year, Grace Tame and former Parliamentary staffer, and alleged rape victim, Brittany Higgins also spoke and had little positive to say about Prime Minister Morrison or the L-NP Government. If a Federal Election were held now the ALP would be elected with a similar margin to that won by Harold Holt at the 1966 Federal Election (L-CP 56.9% cf. ALP 43.1%). This Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention and Government Confidence was conducted via telephone and online interviewing of 2,796 Australian electors aged 18+ from January 31 – February 13, 2022.
