Popularity of Ardern’s Labour Party Plummets According to New Poll
The New Zealand Labour Party’s popularity has fallen to the lowest level since it came into government, according to a new Newshub-Reid research poll.
Labour dropped 5.9 percentage points to 32.3 percent, while its opposition, the National party, had edged up 0.2 points to 40 percent.
For the minor parties, the right-leaning ACT hit 10 percent, and the left-leaning Greens reached 9.5 percent.
If these results eventuate in the next general election, a National and ACT coalition would successfully be able to form a government, while a Labour-Greens alliance would not.
However, NZ First, the party that Labour formed a coalition government with in 2017 but later voted out of parliament in 2020, is also back on the map at 3.3 percent….
