Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 30-Aug-16

A New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention has found that support for the ruling National Party has fallen by seven per cent to 46 per cent in August 2016. The poll also shows that support for a potential Labour/Greens alliance has risen by three per cent to 40 per cent, while the NZ Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating has risen by 0.5 points to 127.5 points. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says that while the main focus during August was New Zealand’s performance at the Olympics, of more importance to the New Zealand economy and the Government’s future in particular was the decision by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) to cut interest rates to a record low of two per cent, which suggests that the RBNZ sees a challenging period ahead before New Zealand heads to an election later next year.
