Poll to Oct 13 2013: Lab/Greens 49.5%, National 41.5%

A Labour/ Greens Alliance (49.5%, up 1%) would easily win election over National Party (41.5%, down 0.5%)

October 17 2013

This latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone – both landline and mobile telephone, with a NZ wide cross-section of 839 electors from September 30-October 13, 2013. Of all electors surveyed a high 4.5% (down 0.5%) didn’t name a party.

Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a potential Labour/ Greens Alliance (49.5%, up 1%) with a clear election winning lead over John Key’s National Party (41.5%, down 0.5%). Support for Key’s Coalition partners has changed little with the Maori Party 1.5% (up 0.5%), ACT NZ 0.5% (unchanged) and United Future 0% (down 0.5%).

Support for the Labour Party is 37% (unchanged), Greens has risen to 12.5% (up 1%), New Zealand First 5% (up 0.5%), Mana Party 0.5% (unchanged), Conservative Party of NZ 0.5% (down 1.5%) and Others 1% (up 0.5%).

If a National Election were held now the latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows that a Labour/ Greens alliance would win easily.

The latest NZ Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating has fallen to 124 (down 5.5pts) with 55% (down 4%) of New Zealanders saying New Zealand is ‘heading in the right direction’ compared to 31% (up 1.5%) that say New Zealand is ‘heading in the wrong direction’.

Gary Morgan says:

“Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a potential Labour/Greens Alliance (49.5%, up 1%) increasing their lead over the governing National (41.5%, down 0.5%) just over one year out from New Zealand’s expected November 2014 election.

“New Labour Party Leader David Cunliffe has re-invigorated the main Opposition Labour Party (37%, unchanged) who are now just 4.5% behind National – the closest Labour has been for five years since October 2008 when Labour was still in Government under former Prime Minister Helen Clark.”

Electors were asked: “If a New Zealand Election were held today which party would receive your party vote?”
