Early voting on whether to recognise Indigenous Australians in the constitution began on Monday.
SYDNEY: An Australian constitutional referendum on Indigenous recognition is on track to be defeated amid strong opposition from older voters and those living outside cities, according to a poll published on Wednesday.
However, with less than two weeks to go before polls close on Oct 14, those opposed to the proposal lead the yes camp by 53% to 38%, according to a YouGov poll of 1,563 voters published on Wednesday. Some 9% of those polled were undecided. More than two-thirds of those aged 65 and over were against the amendment, with no leading yes 68% to 24%, the poll also found.
Support for the referendum, the first since voters rejected a 1999 proposal to become a republic, has ebbed over the past few months with respondents in a poll last week saying the vote distracted from issues like the cost of living and housing.
