Roy Morgan’s New Zealand Poll for July 2026 shows that support for the National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) is down 2% to 49%, but still with a clear lead over the Labour-Greens-Maori Party Parliamentary Opposition (down 1% to 41%). Amongst the Government support for National increased 1% to 32%, although support for New Zealand First was down 2% to 8.5% (the lowest level of support for New Zealand First so far this year), and support for ACT was down 1% to 8.5%. For the Parliamentary Opposition, support for Labour was unchanged at 25.5%, support for the Greens was unchanged at 13.5%, and support for the Maori Party fell by 1% to 2%. A further 10% (up 3%) of electors supported a minor party outside Parliament (the highest level of support for parties not represented in Parliament since the last election). The survey results for July would lead to the National-led Government winning 59 seats (down nine seats from the election), while the Labour-led Parliamentary Opposition would win 51 seats (down four seats). 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 881 electors from 29 June to 26 July. Meanwhile, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating fell 3 points to 85 in July.
