Another political poll has Labour taking a hit, following the party falling to a four-year low in a different poll released Tuesday, where it dropped to 31%.
The Taxpayers’ Union – Curia Poll, released on Wednesday, had Labour on 31.1%, after it fell 1.8 percentage points.
National also dropped in Wednesday’s poll, down 2.4 percentage points to 33.3%.
Labour was sitting at 31% in Tuesday’s Talbot Mills corporate poll, Labour’s lowest point in that poll since 2019.

ACT was at 13.2%, the Green Party was at 8.9%, Te Pāti Māori rose 1.5 percentage points to 5% and NZ First rose 1.7 percentage points to 3.3%.
If reflected at the election – it would lead to a hung Parliament. Translated to seats, National on 43 and ACT on 17, together would have 60. Labour’s 41, with the Green Party’s 12 and Te Pāti Māori’s 7 would also come to 60.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins is welcomed to the Nato leaders summit in Vilnius, Lithuania on July 11, 2023.
In response to Tuesday’s Talbot Mills corporate poll, Hipkins says he has received the “message” provided by voters in the poll.
“Any poll result like that is disappointing, but it is real, and I take it seriously,” Hipkins said while in Lithuania, overnight Wednesday.
“It is an indication that New Zealanders don’t feel like we’ve been focused on the issues that they want us to be focused on, and I think that’s a message that the whole of the Labour Party will hear.”
