OPINION
The latest Roy Morgan poll is out and, despite the relentless negative pressure from the media and the failed opposition, public sentiment toward the Government is increasing in positivity. Labour is sinking into oblivion, while the coalition continues to soar.
Roy Morgan’s New Zealand Poll for March 2024 shows the new National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) with a majority of 56% (up 1% point from February) with a large lead over the Labour-Greens-Maori Party Parliamentary Opposition on 40.5% (down 0.5% points).
Support for National was up 2.5% to 38%, but support for ACT decreased 0.5% points to 11.5% and support for NZ First was down 1% to 6.5%.
Support for Labour was up 1.5% to 23% while support for the Greens was down 2% to 13.5% and support for the Maori Party was down 0.5% points to 3.5%.
A further 3.5% (down 0.5% points) of electors supported a minor party outside Parliament. This includes 2.5% (unchanged) who support The Opportunities Party and a further 1% (down 0.5%) who support other minor parties including the New Conservatives, Democracy NZ, New Zealand Loyal, NewZeal and the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.
The survey results for March would lead to 69 seats (up one seat from the election) being won by the current National/ ACT/ NZ First governing coalition compared to only 51 seats (down four seats) for the Labour/ Greens/ Maori Party Opposition.
For the governing coalition National’s support would win 47 seats (down two seats), support for ACT would equal 14 seats (up three seats) and NZ First would win eight seats (unchanged).
For the three Opposition parties Labour’s support would secure 29 seats (down five seats), Greens support would mean 17 seats (up two seats) and the Maori Party would win 5 seats (down one seat).
Roy Morgan
This poll shows that the Government continues to enjoy a majority of support from voters, and also clearly shows that the mainstream media are increasingly out of touch with the reality of the situation.
The reality is that the general public still likes what they see. It doesn’t matter what the legacy media say because the general public sees right through them and their mendacity. The legacy media have destroyed their trust with the NZ public, and that’s not going to recover any time soon, at least until they start reporting the news rather than trying to be the news.
