Roy Morgan’s New Zealand Poll for May 2025 shows the National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) on 50% (up 1% point) and the Labour-Greens-Maori Party Parliamentary Opposition on 45% (down 2% points), with both failing to muster a majority of public support. This is the fifth straight month the two main blocks representing both sides of politics have fallen short of a majority of support. There were changes in the composition of support for the Government, with support for ACT up 3% points to 12% (the highest support for ACT so far this year) while support for NZ First dropped 2.5% points to 6.5%; support for National was little changed at 31.5%. For the Parliamentary Opposition, support for Labour was virtually unchanged at 29%, support for the Greens dropped 2.5% points to 11.5% and support for the Maori Party was unchanged at 4.5%. A further 5% (up 1%) of electors supported a minor party outside Parliament. 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 799 electors from 28 April to 25 May. Meanwhile, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating dropped 17pts to 80.5 in May.
