Jacinda Ardern’s Labour party is continuing to slump in popularity, as New Zealand reckons with a worsening cost of living crisis.
New polling found the centre-right National party leads Labour although a Labour-led coalition would still have a strong chance at government. The Newshub-Reid research poll put Labour down 6.1 points to 38.2% since its last poll in February, and National up 9.2 points to 40.5%.
