UMR Research Poll on Support for the Republic

UMR Research Australia publishes a comprehensive online poll: 3,000 interviews from a nationally representative survey, which shows 43 percent of women (compared with 58 percent of men) support a republic answering the question: “Do you support or oppose Australia becoming a republic?”. 32 percent of women were opposed compared with 24 percent of men. The poll also reports that 80 percent favour direct election – only 12 percent favour appointment by Parliament. The 23 page report is the most comprehensive survey/analysis on the republic for some time with quotes from respondents – see www.umrresearch.com.au
