🚨OUT NOW! The 2025 @LowyInstitute Poll launches today. In a turbulent global context, the Poll illuminates Australian attitudes towards the US & China, Trump's policies, defence, the economy, climate, democracy and more. I'll be profiling key results this week, so stay tuned.

The results of the 2025 @LowyInstitute poll suggest that Prime Minister Albanese could be much more forthcoming with Australians about our strategic circumstances. New from me in the Interpreter: lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

“The public has this right - it is not the direct tariffs that pose the biggest threat. Rather, it is the rebound effects of the on again/off again/on again tariffs that threaten the global economy” - Jenny Gordon on the 2025 Lowy Institute Poll 👇🏽

Useful piece here from @MihaiSora

If Australia were attacked, half the adult population (52%) would be willing to fight to defend it, according the 2025 Lowy Poll. @DavidGVallance argues the ADF’s recruitment woes are a function of poorly articulated purpose, not a crisis of patriotism: lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

“Citizens must maintain faith in democracy for it to function and thrive”writes @arcanakhalil of the 2025 @LowyInstitute Poll finding that Australians’ support for democracy is at a record high. But amid global democratic backsliding, it’s not enough: lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

As reported in today’s @FinancialReview, only 36% of Australians express any level of trust in the US in this year’s @LowyInstitute Poll – the lowest level on record. Still, 80% of Australians continue to think the alliance is important to our security. afr.com/policy/foreign…

In the 2025 @LowyInstitute Poll, 1/2 the adult population say they would be willing to fight to defend Australia if it were directly attacked & they were physically capable of doing so, while only 1/4 say they would not. Explore more results here 👇 poll.lowyinstitute.org

The latest Lowy Poll is now available from the @LowyInstitute. Lots of interesting statistics on Australians’ views about defence, national security and a range of other issues. Congratulations @RyanNeelam

The 2025 @LowyInstitute Poll records that Australians' feelings of safety are back down at a COVID-era low. @RyanNeelam 🔗 poll.lowyinstitute.org

The 2025 @LowyInstitute Poll records that 70% of Australians believe social media has more of a negative impact than a positive impact on democracy. One of many fascinating findings described by the Poll's author @RyanNeelam this year. 🔗 poll.lowyinstitute.org

Great thought piece by my colleague @SamRoggeveen unpacking how to read the 2025 Lowy Institute Poll:

Amid conflict and global disorder, Australians’ feelings of safety and economic optimism have fallen to their lowest levels in the 21-year history of the @LowyInstitute Poll. Explore the 2025 edition, authored by @RyanNeelam. 👉poll.lowyinstitute.org
