The more debate people hear about the Voice, the more questions they have about how it works and the more reluctant they seem to trust the government to get it right.
Gender is not a significant factor on either side of this national divide. While 58 per cent of men are against the Voice, 57 per cent of women say the same on the “yes or no” question.
Education is a far bigger factor. Australians with a university education are 54 per cent in favour of the Voice. Those with a trade are 65 per cent against. Those with a school education and no further qualifications are 61 per cent against.The income divide is not as stark because the No vote is now the majority among three broad wealth groups - but with a bigger rejection among people with smaller earnings.
Those on high incomes are 52 per cent against the Voice, those on middle incomes are 60 per cent against and those on lower incomes are 63 per cent against.
