Understanding Australian
attitudes to the world

The Lowy Institute Poll is conducted by the Public Opinion and Foreign Policy program at the Lowy Institute.

Since 2005, the Public Opinion and Foreign Policy program at the Lowy Institute has conducted annual polling of Australian views on foreign policy to inform public debate. The annual Lowy Institute Poll is one of the Lowy Institute’s flagship publications, and the leading tracking survey on Australian public opinion and foreign policy. The Poll has identified significant shifts in public attitudes towards major powers, on threats facing the nation, and on climate change, the economy, and immigration. Information on the methodology for the Lowy Institute Poll is available here.
