2020 election: new poll shows Labor can rule alone

The latest Newshub-Reid Research poll shows that Labor could rule alone three weeks before the election.

Labor obtained 50.1 percent, while the national fell to 29.6 percent.

Work is down 10.8 points from the previous Newshub-Reid Research survey, taken at the height of the Covid-19 recovery.

Act was at 6.3 percent, the Greens at 6.5 percent and New Zealand first languished at 1.9 percent.

The latest survey may indicate that National has been hit by its $ 4 billion fiscal error in its alternative budget.

Judith Collins told Newshub that she was “having very good vibes on the ground” and said she would not resign if she lost the election.

“Of course not,” he said.

Collins said his party would understand that they had “been through some difficulties.”

She said her internal party poll showed something different than the Newshub-Reid Research poll.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told Newshub that there had not been an MMP election that had a party capable of governing alone, but it was premature to assume that.

David Seymour’s ACT party has risen by 3 percentage points to 6.5%, meaning that he would no longer need Seymour’s safety net by winning the Epsom electorate.

Seymour said the poll’s results energized his campaign.

NZ First leader Winston Peters told Newshub that he still thought he would return to Parliament.

“I have no respect for your polls,” he said.

Ardern remains the preferred prime minister by 53.2 percent of those surveyed (8.8 percentage points less). Judith Collins popularity has risen by 3.1 percentage points to 17.7% on preferred PM bets.

The margin of error is 3.1%.

Newshub-Reid Research’s previous poll conducted in July indicated that Labor was able to rule comfortably with more than 60 percent, Nationals with 25.1 percent, Greens with 5.7 percent, the law with 3 , 3 percent and New Zealand First with 2 percent.

That survey was conducted after the first outbreak when all of New Zealand was at alert level 1.

Since then, there has been the second outbreak in Auckland and the subsequent lockdown and the election was delayed for a month until October 17.

The parties have also begun to reveal their electoral policies and promises.

Last week’s 1 News Colmar Brunton poll placed Labor at 48 percent, Nationals at 31 percent, Law at 7 percent, Greens at 6 percent and NZ First languishing. in 2 percent.
