Welcome back to Wonk Central, the occasional series of excursions into psephological arcanity that ... well, if you got past those big words and have some sort of head for maths, you'll probably be right at home here. This one's not as hard as some, probably just a Wonk Factor 4/5.
Today saw the release of extensive results of a special Newspoll on various national security issues. These included:
* support for ground troops to fight the so-called Islamic so-called State
* how many Syrian refugees Australia should be taking
* whether priority should be given to Christian refugees over others
* the chance the so-called Islamic so-called State will carry out a large scale terror attack in Australia
* whether the Muslim community in Australia is doing enough to condemn attacks like the Paris attacks
* whether Muslims living in Australia are doing enough to integrate into something Newspoll calls "the Australian community"
I will comment on the results in the next Poll Roundup. What I want to discuss now is whether or not we can use the results to guess at the voting intentions in this Newspoll. My working will likely assist anyone seeking to do so in similar cases in the future.
