Paul Smith, Director of Public Data said, “Kamala Harris has the support of two thirds of Australian voters following the Democratic Convention, with a broad spectrum of support that includes a majority of Australians who vote Labor, Coalition and Green and Australians who voted Yes and No in the voice referendum.”

The poll was taken immediately after the Democratic Convention between 23rd and 28th of August of a politically representative sample of 1543 Australians.

The satisfaction for both party leaders once again remains negative.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s score satisfaction rate is -11 (41% satisfied, 52% dissatisfied).
