Support plummets for Indigenous Voice to parliament, survey finds

Latest Roy Morgan data suggests less than half of Australians support the constitutional change, which is a seven per cent dive since December last year.

Support for an Indigenous Voice to parliament has dropped, with just over half of Victorians pledging to vote yes, while 17 per cent are still undecided.

A Roy Morgan survey, conducted this month, found less than half of Australians now support the constitutional change, which is a seven per cent dive in support since December last year.

The survey revealed just 46 per cent would vote yes, compared to an increased 39 per cent who would not support it. Fifteen per cent of respondents were still unsure.

In Victoria, 52 per cent of people surveyed said yes to the Voice.

But the number of Victorians opposing the voice has increased by three per cent – to 31 per cent.

Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine said support for the Voice had dropped across both genders and all age groups, with support down in all six states. “As of mid-April, only Victoria maintains majority support for The Voice,” she said.

More people in South Australia (50 per cent) and Queensland (46 per cent) said they would vote.
