God bless women and regional voters! The real good news, if the polls can be believed, is that support for the Voice referendum has crashed among women voters, and regional voters, with support now being just 41 percent. The No vote is 62 percent in regional areas of Australia, as would be expected given the wisdom of country Australians, and the lesser degree of woke and diversity. But, the surprise is the women’s vote, with women overall being more likely to vote No, than men, now. Let’s focus on this, being a woman, albeit an ancient one now. It is no secret that women in the West are more liberal and woke than men. If there is this turning against the Voice, this could well swing the referendum, even if Big Tech goes to work on social media to brainwash the youth, who do still support, in the majority, the Voice.
It will be close, that this one is winnable friends!
“The referendum for an Indigenous voice to parliament has suffered a collapse in support among women voters and in the regions as the referendum heads toward defeat, with just 41 per cent of voters now saying they will vote yes.
For the first time, women are now more likely than men to vote no, a central change to core support based on gender.
The No vote in the regions has also blown out to 62 per cent, confirming a widening demographic split between city and bush.
An exclusive Newspoll commissioned by The Australian showing a further decline in support for the voice in the past three weeks comes as both sides submit their official campaign pamphlets to the Australian Electoral Commission for release.
The Australian has confirmed the No campaign provided its pamphlet to the AEC on Friday, with the Yes23 group submitting its pamphlet on Monday.
Labor, the Greens, teal independents and Liberals for Yes will join forces this week to promote the Yes23 movement, while the No campaign gears up for a heavily funded digital campaign.
But the Albanese government faces a deteriorating outcome with overall support for the voice to parliament and executive government falling further in the past three weeks in the wake of confusion over its function and scope.
The latest Newspoll survey shows 48 per cent of voters say they now intend to vote no, confirming a widening margin between the two camps and the lowest level of backing for the model since it was first proposed by the Albanese government.
It confirms a downward trend in support, dropping from 46 per cent in favour in May, to 43 per cent in June and 41 per cent in the latest survey.
The No vote has risen from 43 per cent, to 47 per cent and now 48 per cent over the same period. No date has been set for the referendum, which is likely to be held in October.
But in a reflection of the targeted campaign by the No camp, the greatest shift in sentiment has been among women voters, with a 10-point fall in support in the past three weeks.
Just 38 per cent of female voters now say they approve.
By contrast, support among male voters increased seven points to 45 per cent with 47 opposed, while 49 per cent of female voters now indicated a No vote.
Support in regional communities has also fallen sharply from 40 per cent in favour in June, to 31 per cent in the latest survey, with the No vote rising from 51 per cent to 62 per cent. The only key demographics showing support above 50 per cent were among 18-to-34-year-olds and the university-educated. But even then, among these groups favourability has fallen.
In the previous survey 63 per cent of younger voters approved of the proposed referendum compared to 59 per cent in the latest poll – with a rise in the number who now say they are undecided.
The No vote has also hardened among the older demographics, while those aged between 35 to 49 showed a two-point rise in support to 46 per cent compared to 43 per cent opposed.
While there was little movement along party lines among Labor, Coalition and Greens supporters, support among those identifying as minor party or independent voters fell nine points to just 20 per cent.”
