Support for the National Party has risen by 2 points to 38 per cent following the recent Budget, according to the latest 1News Verian poll.
The poll indicates a stable position for ACT at seven per cent and a two-point increase for New Zealand First to six per cent, surpassing the five per cent threshold.
The results suggest that the coalition government would maintain its hold on power. In contrast, Labour has dropped by one point to 29 per cent, the Greens by one point to 13 per cent, and Te Pati Maori by one point to three per cent.
In the preferred Prime Minister stakes, Christopher Luxon remains steady at 23 per cent, while Labour’s leader Chris Hipkins has gained two points to reach 16 per cent. Other notable figures include Chlöe Swarbrick at six per cent, Winston Peters at four per cent, and David Seymour at four per cent, down by one point.
The poll surveyed 1002 eligible voters and has a margin of error of 3.1 percent at the 95 per cent confidence interval. It was conducted between June 15 and 19.
