ANU study finds Albanese ‘significantly’ more favourable as PM than Dutton and more women undecided on voting intention than men
Women were more likely to say they were unsure who they would vote for ahead of the federal election, the study found, with 12.1% undecided compared with 6.7% of men.The ANU’s Centre for Social Policy Research surveyed 3,622 respondents between 15 and 25 October for its paper on perceptions of democracy and other political attitudes in Australia.
But the study contained some concerning results for the Albanese government, with 17.4% of respondents saying they had no confidence at all in the federal government; 44.8% with “not very much confidence”; 32.8% “quite a lot” and just 5% “a great deal of confidence”. Although confidence recovered to above 50% during the honeymoon period of the Albanese government, it has ebbed steadily down to 38%., the study found almost half of respondents aged 18 to 34 years had quite a lot or a great deal of confidence in the federal government. This fell to 42.5% for those aged 35 to 54.
The study found Australians “appear reluctant to identify as either left or right on the political spectrum”, with 41.9% of Australians identifying as being exactly in the centre of the distribution.
