Labour is in the doldrums in the last poll of the year. It is the Roy Morgan though, but it does show how much Kiwis have fallen out of love with Labour.
Today’s Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll for November 2023 shows new Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and the National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) with a majority of 58% support for November, up 5.2% points from the mid-October election.
Support for National was virtually unchanged at 37.5%, down 0.6% points from the election, while support for ACT increased 3.9% points to 12.5% and support for NZ First was up 1.9% points to 8%.
In November support for the defeated Labour-Greens-Maori Party Parliamentary Opposition was at only 36%, down 5.6% points from the election.
Support for Labour dropped 5.9% points to 21% (the lowest ever recorded in a Roy Morgan Poll). However, support for the Greens increased 0.9% points to 12.5% while support for the Maori Party was down 0.6% points to 2.5%.
A further 6% of electors supported a minor party outside Parliament, up 0.4% points from the election. This includes 3.5% (up 1.3% points) who support The Opportunities Party, 0.5% (up 0.3% points) who support the New Conservatives and a further 2% who support other minor parties including Democracy NZ, New Zealand Loyal, NewZeal and the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.

Support for the Greens has increased because Labour is so rubbish. This is a normal pattern for a post-election poll, but it does show support growing for two of the governing parties. National is going to have to do some soul-searching to find the reason why they are not growing. Perhaps Christopher Luxon will look into a mirror to discover the reason.
The survey results for November would lead to 74 seats (up six seats) being won by the current National/ ACT/ NZ First governing coalition compared to only 48 seats (down seven seats) for the Labour/ Greens/ Maori Party Opposition.
For the governing coalition National’s support would win 48 seats (down one seat), support for ACT would equal 16 seats (up one seat) and the support for NZ First would mean 10 seats (up two seats).
For the three Opposition parties Labour’s support would secure 27 seats (down seven seats), Greens support would mean 16 seats (up one seat) and the Maori Party would win 5 seats (down one seat)

That is pretty grim reading for Labour. But they’ll resort to form, calling this a rogue poll.
Kiwis will now head into the political dead zone otherwise known as the summer holidays and Labour will be hoping for a bump in the first polls of the new year. They’ll probably get one because they’ll have stayed quiet and not enraged anyone.
