No one watches Stuff at 6pm and no one likes to sign up to get around their paywall so any influence Stuff once had is as limited as a Wellington Woke Kink Munch get together, so news of their new poll sank below the surface the way an exclusive does behind the NZ Herald Paywall.
This is the same dynamic that keeps screwing up the release of the Talbot Poll – beyond Roy Morgan, TVNZ and the unregulated Curia Polls, the TRUTH is that Labour and National are neck and neck.
This is terrible news for the Government because barely a year in power they are as popular as a Donald Trump at a feminist folk music festival.
There are really obvious reasons for that – the Economy is tanking and as pissed off as people were with Labour, they are far more furious with National, because at least Labour had Covid to point to as a reason everything sucked, this Government doesn’t have that luxury.
The thing most people don’t understand about National is that they have no actual political values or philosophy beyond implementing whatever their donor mates want. This leads to insanely venal policy that glaringly benefits donors at the cost of the common good.
Constantly seeing this Government look after their rich mates interests over our collective interests starts corroding any good will amongst voters.
The real danger will be if ACT’s race baiting political stunts start cannibalising votes from National and NZF.
Labour, Greens and Māori Party need an actual discussion amongst themselves on what united front they can provide. The Greens are still lost in pronoun games and the Māori Party doesn’t want to work with anyone else.
The country needs unity, so far we have a collection of egos.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Voter’s must be missing Chippie.
No Marco they’ve finally realised what the trumpites Luxon, Seymour and Peters are.
Maori Party is not credible.
While they might get 5 or even all 7 of the Maori Electorate seats their party vote will sit at 3% maximum causing another overhang.
The danger for the left is if the Maori seats return to Labour but their Party Vote sits below 30% as seems likely. If that happens they will get very few list MP’s into Parliament.
Well neither the ACT or NZ First parties are credible and neither are National policies. Now I’m pleased we got that sorted. For this CoC to have been successful, they should be soaring in the polls, they’re not.
Labour Greens The Pati Maori don’t need to do a shit load of work just yet.
Luxon is doing it for them.
If this is what one year of these idiots can give us imagine what it’s going to be like in another two.
They did not take advantage of having a once in a life time majority last time with no other party to please so why would this time be any better .
Evan a National voter like me is scratching my head about some of the move the coalition is making so it is not surprising there is a lose of approval but over the next 12 months they will have time to prove they can do a good job
Not if the health sector is anything to go by, the next 12 months they will prove how inept they are and those people whom have lost jobs won’t make the same mistake again in voting a hard right bloc.

The CoC is responsible for this mess.
I think vote Maori Party is the vote for act National I would be more comfortable if labour and the Greens could increase its vote for a change of government

And then this CoC blame Labour for nurses leaving overseas. FFS who do they have running negotiations, the moronic Im right(wrong)!
I’m coming to the conclusion that Chris Luxon is a Bill Rowling for the 21st century. I’m coming to the conclusion that Chris Hipkins is a Bill Rowling for the 21st century.
The similarities are frightening – an unpopular, failing, leader with no obvious talent in Caucus to succeed them and no positive policy program.
Henry Filth. Maybe so, but Bill Rowling was an earnest honest chappie and certainly not entitled the way that Luxon is, nor as dim; Hipkins carries too much Ardern baggage, and can be slithery.
Nor was Bill ever Prime Minister in the same way as either Chis
And we know Luxon is neither earnest or honest and carries too much John Key baggage and is very slithery.
Latest Roy Morgan poll just another signpost for the Coc heading down the long drop.

Winston might sense a change in the wind, look for a righteous issue to make a stand, forcing a snap election. But Chippy would have to go to avoid Winston swallowing that big dead rat
