Q. The Federal Government plans to hold a national vote on same sex marriage in February next year. If the question was “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?” how would you vote?
| Total | Vote Labor | Vote Lib/Nat | Vote Greens | Vote other | Men | Women | Aged 18-34 | Aged 35-54 | Aged 55+ | Aug 2016 | ||||
| Yes | 58% | 71% | 49% | 89% | 44% | 55% | 60% | 63% | 61% | 45% | 60% | |||

58% would vote “yes” in a plebiscite on same-sex marriage and 28% would vote “no”. 14% did not know how they would vote.
This represents little change since this question was asked in August.
Those most likely to vote “yes” were Greens voters (89%), Labor voters (71%) and those aged 18-24 (71%).
48% of those aged 65+ would vote “no”.
