Australians have cut their support for the federal government as they feel the financial damage from rising prices and higher interest rates, lifting the Coalition on a wave of discontent over grocery costs and energy bills.
The strain was greatest among workers on low incomes, with 65 per cent saying they would struggle to pay. But the pressure was felt across the population, with 50 per cent of high-income respondents also saying they would struggle. Asked to name two costs that were of greatest concern, people identified groceries as the top priority and utility bills as the next major factor . The proportion who named utility bills fell from 47 per cent on the same question last July.
Because the poll asked voters to nominate their primary votes in the same way they filled in their ballot papers for the lower house at an election, there was no “undecided” category in the results, a key difference from some other surveys.
