A picture is worth a thousand words in an election year


Essential Research uses statistical analysis to examine, interpret and report on survey data which is collected via a fortnightly online omnibus active from the Wednesday night of each week and closing on the following Sunday. The target population is all Australian residents aged 18 of age and older. Participants are invited to participate and completed the survey online without an interviewer present and incentives are offered for participation. The response rate varies each week, but usually delivers 1,000+ interviews. Quotas are applied to be representative of the target population by age, gender and location. 


This is one of the graphs contained in the Essential Report published on Tuesday, 25 January 2022 - in response to the survey question asked on 24 January: "Overall, how would you rate the federal government’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak?" 












The percentage breakdown was 35% of all survey respondents thought the Morrison Government had done "Quite/Very Good" and 38% of all survey respondents thought the Morrison Government has done "Quite/Very Poor".


Broken down by state, the percentage of respondents who answered that question favourably had fallen across all states since 13 December 2021, with the exception of Queensland where the number of survey respondents who thought their state government had done "Quite/Very Good" rose 3 percentage points to 46% on 24 January 2022.
