One Nation voters are not what you may think they are.
After the May Budget, more than 300 of them told our pollsters who they really are: not the dispossessed, but homeowners whose one real asset is the roof over their heads, and who have stopped believing either major party is on their side.
Picture a One Nation voter. Now look at the data.
One week after the May Budget, Agenda C Synesis surveyed more than 1,200 Australians, including over 300 who now back the party, and the portrait is not the caricature.
Two in three own their home, outright or on a mortgage. Beyond the front door, though, the investments thin out fast: only three in ten hold shares, fewer than one in five own an investment property, and more than a third hold no investments at all. Their one real asset is the house. Most finished school or hold a trade, and the largest group earns between $75,000 and $150,000.
