Public support for new coalmines falls even among Coalition voters, ANU poll finds

Survey shows 'significant and substantial' decline in the popularity of Scott Morrison and the Coalition

Australia's bushfire crisis has caused a spike in concern about the environment, a hit to the popularity of the Coalition and Scott Morrison and a drop in support for new coalmines, even among Coalition voters.

Those are the conclusions of a poll of 3,249 Australians conducted by the Australian National University's Centre for Social Research and Methods, which found a "significant and substantial decline" in the Coalition's vote from 40% in October 2019 to 35% in January.
