The latest Guardian/Essential poll has shown NZ First passing Act for the first time. This poll is likely to cause extreme consternation inside the National Party and blind panic in the Act Party. With the majority of voters still yet to vote this poll will likely accelerate the direction
David Seymour’s erratic and abusive behaviour over the past few days has made some of us wonder what is going on. Well, we need guess no more, it’s because his attacks on Winston Peters are working…for Winston. The latest Taxpayers’ Union/Curia poll has Act slumping a
Yesterday Labour’s own pollsters, Talbot Mills, released their last poll before the election. This poll confirmed the 1News/Verian Poll from Wednesday night, ACT is slipping, and National is going to need both ACT and NZ First to govern. A new Talbot Mills poll has shown NZ First rising
The latest 1News/Verian poll was released yesterday and National and Act’s plans are slipping as Act voters slowly disappear. Although National remained stable, Act has slipped 2%, meaning that National is going to need NZ First in order to govern. It’s desperate times for Labour as New
1News has released the latest 1News/Verian Poll and it confirms the Newshub poll. The trend is the most important thing and the trend says National and Labour are slipping away, Act has stalled, and Winston Peters is on a surge, gaining 1 per cent a week. New Zealand First
The latest 1News/Verian Poll is out and Labour’s poll disaster continues. This is now the eighth poll in a row showing them being bundled out in a blood bath. National has shed a bit of support too, but that is entirely consistent with normal polling patterns. National and
Labour has copped an absolute shellacking in the polls over the past ten days. Newshub/Reid Research was the fifth bad poll for them, and now the Guardian has released a new poll, making it six bad polls for Labour. Neither a Labour nor a National coalition could form a
Last week was a perfect storm of polling disasters for the Labour Party. It started with the Roy Morgan poll, the The Post poll, then Talbot Mills (Labour’s own pollster) and finally the Taxpayers’ Union poll. All saying the same thing: Labour’s support has cratered from the 2020
A new poll has been released at The Post. It is called The Post/Freshwater Strategy poll. They are an Australian polling company, so I am unsure of their track record. Nonetheless, the poll confirms the general direction of the recent Roy Morgan Poll. Labour’s support has plunged to
The August Roy Morgan Poll is out, and blood is flowing out in vast quantities. Labour is staring down the barrel of a massive rout. But the news is not all good for the Right; National remains stalled and it is Act that is ascendant. Today’s Roy Morgan New
Labour’s vote has collapsed into the 20s as the centre-right grabs a lead in the latest 1News Verian poll. While the news might sound good for National, there is still the Luxon problem to deal with. Labour has sunk below 30% in the party vote in the latest
The latest Taxpayers’ Union/Curia Poll is out and, like the other latest polls, it has shown a sharp slump in Labour’s numbers and now matches all the other polls showing NZ First has crossed the dreaded 5% threshold. Winston’s back, and we are looking at a change
Three polls within a week tell the story that many have been longing to hear: Labour’s bubble has burst, and they are now circling the drain. The latest Newshub/Reid Research poll reflects both the Taxpayers’ Union/Curia poll and the Roy Morgan Poll. The New Zealand public has
The latest 1News/Verian poll is out, and it confirms what two other polls last week showed, that the major parties are on a slide, as is normal in most election years. That makes National’s claim of trying to get over 40% in the election look rather like unobtainium.
I have often said that as we get closer to the election, we will not see a surge in big party support, but a slide. The latest Taxpayers’ Union/Curia poll confirms that the slide is real. Both Labour and National continue to slide away, while minor party support grows.
The latest Talbot Mills (formerly UMR) poll has been released and shows Labour and Chris Hipkins are experiencing a slump in their fortunes. The news isn’t all good for National, however, with them only rising by a single point, even as Labour slumps. Labour’s support has crashed to
