Over three-quarters of Victorians (76%) agree that an employed worker in Victoria is not allowed to enter their employer’s workplace unless fully vaccinated

A large majority of 76% of Victorians agree that an employed worker in Victoria is not allowed to enter their employer’s workplace unless fully vaccinated compared to only 24% that disagree, according to a special Victorian Roy Morgan SMS Poll conducted yesterday (November 24, 2021). 

Agreement with this policy is consistently strong across Gender, Age and Location although there are significant political differences. An almost unanimous 96% of ALP supporters agree with the policy compared to 91.5% of Greens supporters but only 55% of L-NP supporters and just 4% of supporters of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party (UAP).

Support for the ALP on a two-party preferred basis increased to 59.5%

The ALP has increased its two-party preferred lead to almost 20% points. The ALP is now on 59.5% (up 1.5% points since mid-November 2021) compared to the L-NP on 40.5% (down 1.5% points).

Support for the ALP is strongest amongst women with the ALP 62.5% cf. L-NP 37.5% while there is a tighter result for men although the ALP is still well ahead: ALP 55.5% cf. L-NP 44.5%.

The ALP’s lead is stronger in Melbourne: ALP 61.5% cf. L-NP 38.5% than Country Victoria: ALP 53.5% cf. L-NP 46.5%.

Approval for Premier Daniel Andrews increases despite recent street protests

The Roy Morgan survey found 63.5% of Victorian electors now approve of the way Premier Daniel Andrews is handling his job, up 3% points from mid-November 2021 while a minority of 36.5%, down 3% points disapprove of his handling of the job.

Primary support for the ALP increases at the expense of the L-NP

Primary support for the ALP is now at 45%, up 2% points from mid-November 2021 and is even further ahead of the L-NP, down 2% points to 29%. Support for the Greens was down 0.5% points to 10.5%.

Support for the minor parties is largely unchanged from mid-November with total support at 15.5%, up 0.5% points. Support is highest for Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party on 4% (up 1% points) ahead of Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party unchanged on 2% while an unchanged 3.5% of people support other parties. Support for independents is at 6%, down 0.5% points from mid-November.
