Lowy Institute Poll, 2016

This is the twelfth annual Lowy institute Poll. The 2016 Lowy Institute Poll reports the annual results on nationally representative telephone opinion survey, conducted between 26 February and 15 March 2016 with a sample size of 1202 Australian adults. 2016 is a year of elections, with a federal election in Australia, a presidential election in the United States, and the selection of a new Secretary-General of the United Nations. The 2016 Lowy Institute Poll provides new data on how Australians feel about these various contests. Some of the questions in this survey are identical to questions asked previously or by other survey organisations, including Pew Research Center, The Scanlon Foundation, The Environics Institute for Survey Research and Chicago Council on Global Affairs, which allows for the comparison of public opinion internationally. The order of questions in the questionnaire is different from the order presented in affiliated report. The surveys were funded entirely by the Lowy Institute for International Policy.
