Abstract

The article focuses on a recent opinion poll showing declining support for New Zealand's governing National Party ahead of the November 7 election. According to the Curia Market Research poll for the NZ Taxpayers' Union, National's support fell to 28.4%, down from 38% in the 2023 election, while the opposition Labour Party rose slightly to 34.4%. National currently governs with the support of New Zealand First and ACT parties, whereas Labour is aligned with the Green Party and Te Pāti Māori. The poll suggests a potential shift in government, with the center-left bloc holding a narrow one-seat majority in parliament if the results are replicated. [Extracted from the article]
