Australian voter dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s performance is growing and support for his signature Indigenous Voice to Parliament proposal is declining amid increased frustration over rising living costs.
The center-left government’s primary vote slid to 36% in the latest Resolve poll published Monday, the lowest level since it won office in May 2022. Albanese’s net approval rating declined to minus-7, with 47% of respondents disapproving of the job he’s doing as prime minister, compared with 40% in favor.
Resolve’s results echo surveys from Newspoll and Essential over the past week, all of which showed a drop in support for Albanese, the Labor government and the Voice to Parliament. The poll hit comes as elevated interest rates and falling real wages squeeze household budgets and damage the government’s standing.
“When you explain that to the Australian people, this is an uncontroversial simple proposition and I do feel optimistic about being able to see this referendum pass,” Marles said.
