Asking the Wrong Questions
This is not the poll Labour should be running, as it doesn’t directly target Luxon. You need to exert pressure and this poll doesn't do that, which makes it kind of pointless.

It is time for National to rethink how it views some domestic issues. Winston is completely on song with his followers. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for National.
Perhaps his boss might like to take a leaf out Simeon Brown’s playbook, starting with growing a spine.
Luxon and Hipkins: ‘politically weakened’ or ‘muddling through’.
Obviously Nicola Willis does not want to make a coat out of Dalmatians or dress as well as Miranda, but Labour cannot see this, any more than they cannot see that Willis is far more presentable and politically adept than Luxon.
Labour could do more to destabilise the National Party, but will they?
What has been really noticeable is how few people have come to his defence.
Kiwis voted for change at the last election, and Luxon said, yeah, nah.
Bishop may be doing the numbers, but the indications are he is not.
Luxon’s inept media performance has something to do with his inept management of his staff.
Paula Bennett is putting it about town that she should be the Nats next president.
This is a fairly simple play but the Labour Party is filled with exceptionally simple people who fail to make the simple plays time and time again. It is almost as if they want to maintain Luxon in place.
After the train crash interview with Mike Hosking, it seems certain that Luxon’s time as prime minister may have come to an end.
