The closely watched Newshub-Reid Research Poll was released on Sunday
- Ardern's Labour Party at to 50.1%
- Main opposition National Party on 29.6%
As seats the numbers translate to:
Ardern governs at present with support of another party (NZ First), that in coalition. The numbers at present give here the ability to form a government without coalition support. Which is probably comforting as NZ First are nowhere to be seen in polling ... 1.9%!
The election is on Saturday 17 October so there is still time for change. But its not looking good for the main opposition party at this stage.
