With how close the two blocs are, this is a big shift.

Labour: 32.3 percent, down 3.6 points
National: 36.6 percent, up 1.3 points
ACT: 12.1 percent, up 1.3 points
Greens: 9.6 percent, up 1.5 points
Te Pāti Māori: 2.7 percent, down 0.8 point
NZ First: 4.1 percent, up 1.1 points

TOP is down 0.5% to 1.5%

Also, ardern is still at 3.7% for preferred prime minister somehow, just behind Winston Peters.

It's such a bizarre scenario, given Luxon isn't popular, what exactly are people choosing National for? Their... "Policies"? I could understand if people were just swayed by the identity politics of it all, even if I think that's a bit shallow, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

A lot of people, myself included, don't want to see what type of damage TPM could cause if they have a seat at the table, and won't vote for either three as a result.

I also do like some of National's policies, the second Terrace and Mt Vic tunnels are badly needed, for example.
