Hope, Hardship, and Democratic Confidence: Social Wellbeing and Political Sentiment in Election-Year Australia (March/April 2025)

Author/editor: Professor Nicholas Biddle
Year published: 2025
Abstract
This report presents findings from the third wave of the 2025 Election Monitoring Survey Series (EMSS), conducted from 28th March to 8th April, during the first fortnight of the 2025 federal election campaign. With a sample of 3,608 Australians—two-thirds of whom
participated in at least one prior wave—the survey provides longitudinal insight into Australians’ evolving political attitudes, wellbeing, and policy preferences at a time of acute economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
This wave of the EMSS also includes novel questions on housing policy and supply-side liberalism.
