The Daily Blog’s July poll has been kicked off, asking readers: What party will you likely vote for at this year’s General Election?

You will see this month’s poll in the right-hand sidebar of the site. (Please note this is a party vote poll not a preferred candidate poll.)

We will continue TDB’s site rolling poll, one poll for each month, through to the General Election.
Comparing the results will provide readers an interesting account of how this audience cumulatively accesses each party on merit and performance.

TDB-June-2014-PollAs you can see from the graphic (left) the TDB June Poll saw 2776 votes lodged.
The Green Party topped the tally with the largest percentage of site votes ending the month on 27%, down from 30% achieved in TDB May poll.
The Internet Mana alliance had been leading the poll for much of the month, peaking at 34% but then began to lose momentum after the Greens and Labour began to pick up support. The IMP vote settled at 24% of the total votes for June.
Labour achieved 21% of the available votes in June, collapsing mid-month to 19% but gaining support in the last two weeks of June. Its end-of-month percentage is down five percentage points from 26% achieved in May.
The National Party has been steady achieving 18% of the total vote, down one percentage point since TDB May poll.
ACT finished on 2% down one percentage point from what it achieved in May. The ‘None of the Above’ vote achieved 2%, down one percentage point from May; NZ First finished on 2% down two percentage points since the May poll; the Conservatives achieved 2% up one percentage point since the May poll; The Civilian Party finished on 2% (this was the first time it was listed in the TDB Poll). The Maori Party finished on 1% up from the 0.4% it achieved in May; and last was United Future with only 0.1% about the same as it achieved in May, with only two votes out of a total of 2776.

How the poll works:

So you know, each person gets to vote once for one single party of choice. So choose well.

We have settings that restrict the number of times a person can vote from their personal computer and IP.

That is an attempt to prevent a person voting repeatedly, if we allowed that the results would not give us a sniff of the audience’s view overall.

As the month progresses, you will be able to see how the parties are doing. If your preference changes over the month, you will be able to reflect this change in your vote in next month’s poll.

For the record, TDB does not claim this poll to be scientific. We run it on TDB as an indicator of the cumulative audience’s political preferences. We also run it over a sustained period so as to reduce the manipulation effect that sudden flight arrivals of audiences pushed here from other sites may have on the results.
