Govt support drops in latest RNZ- Reid Research poll

From Morning Report, 7:17 am on 4 June 2025

The opposition parties - Labour, the Greens and Te Pati Maori - would be in a position to form a government if an election was held today. Labour is in the lead on 33.2, with National in behind on 30.7 points, the Greens get 11.6, and New Zealand First is on 9.1 percentage points, while ACT has 6.6 and Te Pati Maori is on 5.5 percentage points. That gives the coalition government 57 seats, not enough to govern, while the Opposition parties would have 63 seats allowing them to form a government. Political editor Jo Moir spoke to Corin Dann.
