So tonight's poll (which we missed because we were down at the Stadium supporting Phoenix achieve its first win of the season) will be seen as worse news than those other polls which one is not allowed to believe in - a bit like fairies down the end of the garden, or that New Zealand has no corruption.
62 seats to National and 3 to ACT. But why did Garner put the Maori and United in behind Labour in opposition? Maybe to make things seem more exciting.
