More Australians are planning to vote no in the Indigenous voice referendum than yes, a first for Guardian’s Essential Poll.
The Essential poll of 1,150 voters released on Tuesday found that 47% did not approve of the voice, with 43% in favour and the remaining 10% unsure. That represents a reversal of July’s results, which found yes narrowly ahead by the same margin.
