This report seeks to explain the decline in voter support for the voice in recent months. 

Though initially most voters did support the voice, in recent months the tide has turned. Support among graduate voters remains strong, but has ebbed away amongst other voters, especially those who are non-graduates (who comprise some two-thirds of the electorate).

The research from successive polls explains why this is the case. It indicates that non-graduates are much more likely to hold nationalist values than are graduates and that, as a consequence, they tend to see the vote on the voice as a challenge to these values.
