Release of latest Newspoll survey shows that 42 percent of women interviewed (total sample 2400) were in favour of Australia becoming a republic; 25 percent were strongly in favour. The most notable result from this poll was that it showed that support among young people for the republic is slipping while overall support was down to 46%, the lowest level since 1993; at this stage, only 41% intend to vote YES in favour of the model where the President is elected by a two-thirds majority of the federal parliament. Overall support for the republic is strongest in NSW and WA and weakest in Queensland.
