More Australians intend to vote no than yes in the voice referendum on 14 October, but a chunk of respondents are either equivocating or still unsure about how they will cast their ballots, the latest Guardian Essential poll shows.

The new poll of 1,151 respondents was taken after the official launch of the yes campaign in Adelaide last week and the results indicate 48% intend to vote no and 42% yes, with 10% unsure. Last month, no was ahead of yes 47% to 43%.
