Voters aren’t waiting on the verandas of their Queenslanders with their baseball bats for John Howard. They’re waiting outside triple-garage McMansions in the Sydney burbs.

Crikey is mining Roy Morgan Research data to pull out different demographic groups to find out what seats they’re located in and how they are going to vote. With inflation figures out today, we thought we’d look at voters’ views on interest rates and financial security.

Unsurprisingly, our Roy Morgan Top 25 today shows it’s voters in the Sydney burbs who are most concerned about interest rates – but Labor seats dominate the list. In contrast, it’s voters in the Perth burbs who feel best off.

And despite the bad inflation news today, Peter Costello can rejoice in the knowledge that 76.97% of his constituents agree with the statement “I feel financially stable at the moment”. Only Petro’s mob in the next door electorate of Kooyong are happier.

Crikey’s key seats – the 49 seats we believe will decide the federal election are marked with an asterisk.

More details are available from Electorate Profiles on the Roy Morgan Online Store.
