Support for New Zealand’s Labour/Greens government was down 2.5% points to 44% in December – the lowest combined level of support for the Government since Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern took office in October 2017. Support for the Labour Party was down 0.5% points to 35.5% and support for the Greens decreased by 2% points to 8.5%. In contrast, support for a potential National/Act NZ coalition government increased by 6% points to 50%, its highest since Ardern came to power. The increase was driven by support for the National Party rising 5% points to 31.5%, to its highest since March 2020 (37%), while support for Act NZ was up 1% point to a new record high of 18.5%. Support for the Maori Party fell 2% points to 1%. New Opposition Leader Christopher Luxon took over leadership of the National Party from former leader Judith Collins on November 30, and the latest Roy Morgan Poll shows that the change is already receiving a positive response from the New Zealand electorate. This latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone – both landline and mobile – with a New Zealand-wide cross-section of 967 electors during December.
