Federal Political Snapshot - October 2025

The fieldwork for this survey was conducted over online panel between Thursday 25 September and Tuesday 7 October, 2025. The sample of N = 1,997 Australian voters aged 18 and older were recruited to fill quotas based on age, gender, location, education and vote at the 2025 federal election.

Rim weighting was used to apply interlocking weights for age, gender, education, religion and location. The efficiency of these weights was 82 per cent, providing an effective sample size of 1641.

Based on this effective sample size, the margin of error (95 per cent confidence interval) for a 50 per cent result on the full sample is ± 2.4 per cent.

This is larger for subsets of the data, such as age or location, and results based on these and similar breakdowns should be interpreted conservatively.

Vote intention questions were located immediately after demographic items and other questions used for screening and quotas. Undecided respondents were asked a leaner question. Those who refused to or were unable to provide a vote intention in both the initial question and leaner made up eight per cent of the sample, and were excluded from published vote intention figures.
