A new Newshub-Reid Research poll shows support for Labour has dropped 3.6 points to 32.3 percent while support for National is up 1.3 points to 36.6 percent.

With how close the two blocs are, this is a big shift.

National: 36.6 percent, up 1.3 points
ACT: 12.1 percent, up 1.3 points
Greens: 9.6 percent, up 1.5 points
Te Pāti Māori: 2.7 percent, down 0.8 point
NZ First: 4.1 percent, up 1.1 points

TOP is down 0.5% to 1.5%

Also, ardern is still at 3.7% for preferred prime minister somehow, just behind Winston Peters.

    It’s such a bizarre scenario, given Luxon isn’t popular, what exactly are people choosing National for? Their… “Policies”? I could understand if people were just swayed by the identity politics of it all, even if I think that’s a bit shallow, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

      A lot of people, myself included, don’t want to see what type of damage TPM could cause if they have a seat at the table, and won’t vote for either three as a result.

      I also do like some of National’s policies, the second Terrace and Mt Vic tunnels are badly needed, for example.
