Research in Brief: Lowy Poll 2025  @LowyInstitute

For more than two decades, the Lowy Institute’s flagship annual poll has revealed how Australians see the world and their place in it. It is the leading Australian survey on foreign affairs, and informs policy and public debate.

Now in its twenty-first year, the 2025 Lowy Institute Poll illuminates the public mood at a remarkable moment in history. Amid global disorder and conflict, the Poll examines changing attitudes towards Australia’s key security ally, the United States, and its main trading partner, China. It reveals assumptions about superpower trajectories in the future, and perceptions of influence in Australia’s region now. It asks Australians about the key threats facing the nation, and how to defend against them. And it shows how attitudes on climate and energy, the economy, democracy, and immigration have evolved over time.
