Voters are underwhelmed by the Morrison government's response to recent catastrophic flooding in New South Wales and Queensland, and a majority fear disasters will be worse in the absence of significant action to address climate risks, according to the latest Guardian Essential poll.

The survey of 1,091 voters finds only 26% of respondents characterised the Coalition's recent flood disaster response as good, while 40% thought poor and 34% said neither good nor poor.
