Australians disapprove of Trump and Musk, new poll finds
A new poll has found that Australians overwhelmingly disapprove of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The poll, conducted by Talbot Mills Research, surveyed 1,000 Australians and found that 49% disapproved of the job Trump was doing as US president, with 34% strongly disapproving. Only 16% strongly approved of the job he was doing.
The poll also found that Australians have a special dislike for tech billionaires, with 59% expressing unfavorable feelings towards Elon Musk and 54% towards Mark Zuckerberg.
The poll's findings suggest that Australians are increasingly frustrated with the growing narrative that Big Tech bosses are in charge. There is a sense that these billionaires have disproportionate power over Trump and that they are not acting in the best interests of the American people.
The poll's findings also have implications for the upcoming Australian election. The poll found that soft voters have limited recall of anything the major party leaders have said about salient issues such as cost of living, housing, or economic management. This suggests that the election will be mostly about which party has the stronger economic credentials when it comes to individual financial security.
The poll's findings also suggest that Australians are not interested in a campaign against "wokeism." The poll found that negative things have been said about Peter Dutton based on what voters interpret as him copying Trump. This suggests that Australians are not interested in a campaign that is based on culture wars.
Instead, Australians want answers to their economic malaise. They want to know how the major parties plan to address the rising cost of living, the housing affordability crisis, and the lack of economic opportunity. The party that can best address these concerns is likely to win the election.

“The numbers speak for themselves. It’s time that political narratives focus on solving real problems rather than glorifying big names.”

“This poll seems like it’s trying to push an anti-Trump and anti-tech billionaire agenda rather than report what Australians really think.”

“I was expecting a deeper analysis on why these figures are disliked; this piece just flirts with numbers without context.”

“This commentary is refreshing – it puts economic concerns at the forefront and exposes the myth that ‘wokeism’ drives elections.”

“Interesting poll results! It confirms what many of us suspected – Australians are tired of the power plays by big names like Trump and Musk.”
