Lowy Institute Poll 2023

The 2023 Lowy Institute Poll captures Australian attitudes to the world in the wake of extraordinary shocks to the global order. The Poll reveals how Australians view major powers and world leaders, the threats facing the nation, and the risk of conflict in the region. It shows how attitudes on the economy, democracy and climate change have evolved over time.

The 2023 Lowy Institute Poll reports the results of a national survey of 2077 Australian adults between 14 and 26 March 2023. The survey was conducted by the Social Research Centre (SRC), using the Life in Australia™ panel — currently the only probability-based online panel in Australia. Members of the panel were randomly recruited via their landline or mobile telephone or via their address (rather than being self-selected volunteers) and agreed to provide their contact details to take part in surveys on a regular basis. SRC uses a mixed-mode approach for the panel, including online surveys (97% of respondents) and computer-assisted telephone interviewing (3% of respondents) to provide coverage of the offline population (households without internet access).
