The latest Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll shows that support for the Labour/Greens coalition government rose 1% points to 43% in May. Support for Labour was up 1% to 31%, while support for the Greens was unchanged at 12%. Support for the National Party was down 0.5% points to 31.5% (its lowest level of support since December 2021), while support for Act NZ was up 1% point to 13.5%. Support for a right-leaning potential National/Act NZ coalition rose 0.5% points to 45%. The results for May continue to show that the New Zealand Election later in 2023 is on a knife-edge, with the crossbench set to determine who will form the next Government. This New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone – both landline and mobile – with a New Zealand-wide cross-section of 952 electors during May. Meanwhile, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating was unchanged at 80 in May, equal to its lowest level since former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern resigned in January.
