3news-Reid Research Poll – Did Labour’s Attack on Foreign Buyers Work?

The 3New-Reid Research poll out at 6pm tonight will assess the political fallout of Labour’s targeting of Chinese buyers in the Auckland housing market.

3News Political Editor Patrick Gower says the poll will clearly show whether Labour’s move worked.

“Labour is hoping for a pivotal moment like Orewa was for Don Brash. This poll result is clear on whether Labour’s tactics have paid off.”

The poll also asked voters whether they supported a ban on non-resident or non-citizen foreign buyers.

“The question about a ban on foreign buyers is also important because it shows what people’s real feelings on the issue are.”

The poll, of 1000 people, was taken from July 14-22.

Full details on the 3News-Reid Research poll will be released tonight on 3News at 6 and online at 3news.co.nz.
