National On 52% In Roy Morgan Poll

Kiwiblog has an analysis up on the latest Roy Morgan poll.

The most interesting is the analysis by Roy Morgan:

“The latest New Zealand Morgan Poll shows continued weak support for the Labour Government.
“With an election due later in the year, the increasing support for the Opposition National Party, now at 52% - its highest level since the 2005 election -
should be a huge concern for members of the Labour Government.
“With the Reserve Bank of New Zealand leaving interest rates unchanged at a record 8.25% on Thursday, and predictions of increasing inflationary pressures heading through 2008 putting upward pressure on interest rates, Helen Clark could become a political victim of the global economic uncertainty ‘washing up’ on New Zealand’s shores.”


The Greens can take some comfort from this poll as they are up to 6.5%. The result for NZ First is very bad. They are on 3.5%, the lowest level since October.
