The first post-election Taxpayers’ Union/Curia Poll was released yesterday. Unsurprisingly it has cemented the popularity of the new Government in waiting. Predictably, Chris Hipkins’s popularity has nose-dived like a lead balloon.

It’s a strange old thing to have a poll immediately after the election, but I guess it will provide a benchmark for the rest of the term.
By the time of the next poll, we will know exactly what the Government and the Executive look like. Then we can start gauging individual performances.
