I'm planning on voting yes already. It's more that there is so much splitting of the vote through arguments that this specific version is not right for various reasons, but voting "no" generally leads to an end to proposal for change, not to a further conversation about how to improve things as many people seem to hope. The same thing happened with the Republic vote - support for a Republic in general was and remains quite high, but support for the specific model put forward was not high enough to get through. There needs to be stability in the Constitution so you don't want it to be too easy to change, but IMO the current system works against change too strongly, leaving us with an outdated document that really needs to be updated.
What change could be made to the question before us that would likely shift your "yeah, nah" to a "yes"?

Exactly!
