National high in Herald Digipoll

The Herald has National remaining over 50% in an end of year Digipoll, with Labour+Greens+NZ First strugggling to make progress on a collective 45%.

National 51.3% (up 0.5)
Labour 31.1% (up 0.1)
Greens 8.2% (down 1)
NZ First 5.7% (down 1.2)
Maori Party 2.1% (up 1.1)
ACT Party 0.8% (up 0.6)
United Future 0.3% (up 0.3)

While movements are small both Labour’s essential support partners have lost support while all National’s current support parties gained.

Preferred Prime Minister:

John Key 65.2% (up 1.5)
Andrew Little 16.2% (up 2.9)
Winston Peters 7.9% (down 3.7)
Jacinda Ardern 2.8% (down 1.1)
Helen Clark 2.5% (down 0.1)

Little won’t be happy with the lack of gain for Labouir but his own rise will give him a little cause for hope.

I think the decline in support for NZ First and Winston Peters is of note. Peters was ranked by some as politician of the year.

He was certainly politician of the first couple of months with a huge win in the Northland by election. But since then he has hardly fired. Add to that the negatives of one of the least liked and worst behaved MPs in Parliament , Ron Mark, and NZ First could be heading for some problems.
