According to recent surveys, the level of Indigenous support for the Voice to Australian parliament varies widely. The Yes campaign groups and representatives of the Labor government that initiated the referendum continuously cite the figure of over 80 percent backing for the initiative among Aboriginal people, not as an estimation, but as an unassailable fact. However, there is no reliable data indicating the level of Indigenous support for the Voice. Recent national polls place support for the Voice at anywhere between 33 percent and 45 percent. An exclusive survey conducted by Resolve Strategic for The Sydney Morning Herald found that 59 percent of Indigenous voters are in favor of the proposal, down from Yes campaign estimates of 80 percent in January. The No campaign claims its own polling shows 57 percent of Indigenous people support the Voice. A poll released on October 12, 2023, by The Sydney Morning Herald shows that 59 percent of First Nations people support the Voice.
