The Indigenous Voice to Parliament has lost more support in a concerning trend for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, with younger voters abandoning the Yes camp just days out from polling day.
Mr Albanese has also suffered a personal blow with Labor’s primary vote dropping to levels not seen since before the 2022 federal election.
As Australians gear up to head to the polling booth on Saturday, support for the proposed constitutional change dropped two points to its lowest level at 34 per cent, in a Newspoll of 1225 voters nationally, taken between October 3 and October 6 and conducted for The Australian.
The latest poll suggested support for the No camp also rose two points to 58 per cent while the remaining 8 per cent are still unsure which way they will vote.
The Yes camp has also lost support from the younger voters with backing from the 18-34 age bracket falling below 50 per cent for the first time.
Only 46 per cent of voters below the age of 35 said they would vote yes while 49 per cent will be voting no.
The trend towards the no camp continued in the older age groups with 37 per cent of the 35-49 age group voting yes, compared to 53 per cent who will say no to the Voice.
Those in the age bracket of 50-64 only had 26 per cent voting yes compared to the 64 per cent who will say no and it was worse in the 65 and older bracket with less than a quarter (24 per cent) voting yes and 70 per cent polling against the Voice.
The poll indicates not a single age bracket has a majority in support of the Voice to Parliament with the 35 to 49-year-olds group the only demographic to record a positive trend for the Yes campaign.
Labor will also be concerned their Yes campaigns are failing to convince their supporters, with Labor voters recording one of the biggest drops in support for the Voice.
The yes vote from Labor voters dropped below 50 per cent for the first time to 48 per cent, while the no vote sits at 42 per cent and the unsure camp at 10 per cent.
Coalition supporters remain the most unified demographic in the survey with 82 per cent against the Voice, 13 per cent voting yes and just 5 per cent unsure.
Australians who vote for the Greens are almost as unified on the opposite side with 73 per cent in support of the constitutional change, 19 per cent against and 8 per cent unsure.
