Anthony Albanese Urged to Brace for Post-Voice Vote Consequences as he Garners Support at Uluru

Voters are turning away from Anthony Albanese’s Voice proposal, furious that he appears to be spending more time promoting the referendum than trying to resolve the cost of living crisis, a new poll suggests.

The Prime Minister has repeatedly assured the population that the cost of living remains his government’s number one priority.

But Australians don’t see that sentiment reflected in his actions as he travels the country advocating for an Indigenous voice in Parliament, research suggests.

Mr Albanese today landed in Uluru for the final campaign push ahead of the October 14 referendum, telling a gathered crowd he remained “confident” of a Yes victory.

He then broke down in tears after receiving a copy of the Uluru Declaration from the heart of an Aboriginal group who held his hand as they sang.

As his popularity once again takes a hit in voter satisfaction ratings, polling and modeling by British firm Focal Data found that the cost of living crisis is the second most pressing reason why voters Australians say no to the vote every day.

The Prime Minister has repeatedly assured the public that the cost of living remains the number one priority for him and his government.

The UK-based research group predicts the country will vote 61 per cent against the Yes campaign’s 39 per cent in Saturday’s referendum after surveying 4,500 Australians and modeling the outcome of each seat.

When presented with eight possible reasons to vote no, 18 per cent of participants cited “there are other things, like the cost of living, that need to be addressed first in Australia” as their main reason.

Another 19 percent said it was their secondary reason for voting no, while 19 percent said it was their third reason, meaning 56 percent of no voters in total consider it the one of their three main reasons.

Since the pandemic, households have experienced price increases on everything from groceries to gas and electricity bills – and the Prime Minister’s popularity has taken a hit.

Redbridge pollster Kosmos Samaras told Daily Mail Australia that “a lot of the government’s bandwidth was allocated to Voice” and that this had an impact on public perception of how it handled existential problems.

He later said: “Labor will need to quickly turn to economic issues if they are to win the support of these voters in 2025.”

“It’s the economy – as always.

“Support for The Voice began to fall sharply after the second interest rate hike this year. In July, he found himself behind the No camp.

The Prime Minister enjoys immense popularity

When presented with eight possible reasons to vote no, 18 per cent of participants ranked “there are other things, like the cost of living, that need to be addressed first in Australia” as their top reason.

An Albanian government spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that “the number one priority is to help ease the pressure on Australians who are doing things hard.”

“In recent weeks, 5.5 million Australians have seen their income support payments and pensions increase. This is just part of our $14.6 billion cost of living package.

“The Opposition has voted against lowering the cost of living for Australians, including trying to prevent people with chronic illnesses from accessing cheaper medicines and voting against our price relief program Energy.

“We are cleaning up the mess they left while providing targeted and responsible cost-of-living assistance, without contributing to inflation.”

In the past 18 months since coming to power, the Albanese-led Labor government has increased rental assistance, raised block charges and made cheaper childcare more accessible to 1.2 million families .

Benefits for jobseekers and single parents have also increased.

Despite their best efforts, voter satisfaction with Mr. Albanese has fallen 12 percentage points over a six-month period, from a high of 57 percent to 45 percent today.

Between October 2009 and April 2010, support for Mr Rudd fell from 63 per cent to 50 per cent, while dissatisfaction jumped from 28 per cent to 41 per cent.

He remains far more popular than Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, who has an approval rating of 37 points and has seen little improvement as voters turn away from the prime minister.

This is a downward trend that has been compared to Kevin Rudd’s fall in the polls during the second half of his first term.

Between October 2009 and April 2010, support for Mr Rudd fell from 63 per cent to 50 per cent, while dissatisfaction jumped from 28 per cent to 41 per cent.

At the time, he backtracked on his historic climate change policy, while Australia simultaneously grappled with an influx of illegal boat arrivals – an issue voters saw as a priority at the time. ‘era.

Labor’s primary vote fell to 34 per cent – its lowest level since the election and just two percentage points ahead of the Coalition, according to a Newspoll by The Australian.

The ALP still holds a comfortable two-party lead of 53 percent to 47 percent.
