53% were very or somewhat concerned about the number of Muslim people in Australia while 42% were not very or not at all concerned. Concern is higher among Liberal/National (61%) and other party voters (69%) and lower among Greens voters (32%). 60% of people aged 55+ say they are concerned.
However, level of concern has dropped a little since this question was asked in 2011.
Level of concern is strongly related to perceptions of the number of Muslim people in Australia.
