For the decided party vote, National is up slightly by 0.2 points on last month’s poll to 37.3 per cent while Labour is up to 30.0 per cent (+4.3 points). The Greens are down 4.3 points to 10.2 per cent, while ACT are up to 9.4 per cent (+2.2 points).
The smaller parties are NZ First on 5.5 per cent (-0.8 points) and Te Pati Maori on 3.1 per cent (-1.5% points).
For the minor parties, TOP is on 1.4 per cent, Outdoors and Freedom is on 1.1 per cent, and the rest combined make up the remaining two per cent.
4.2 per cent of voters were undecided after probing.
Here is how these results would translate to seats in Parliament:
Taxpayers’ Union
National maintains 47 seats while Labour is up five to 32. The Greens are down to 13 seats (down five) while ACT are up to 12 (up three). NZ First drop 1 seat to 7 while Te Pati Maori is unchanged on six seats.
This calculation assumes that all electorate seats are held. A Parliament on these figures would have two overhang seats for a total of 122.
The combined projected seats for the Centre-Right of 66 is up two from last month while the Centre-Left unchanged on 56 seats.
On these numbers, National and ACT would require the support of NZ First to form a government.
Taxpayers’ Union
Steady as she goes for the Government parties, and the Greens are finally seeing that voters really don’t like their sanctimonious tones and the corresponding rank hypocrisy from a party that tolerates and celebrates welfare fraud, shoplifting, migrant labour exploitation and chanting genocidal pro-terrorism slogans.
Expect them to slide further now that the most sensible Green, James Shaw, has left the party in the hands of the loonies.
Christopher Luxon’s net favourability is up 15 points on last month to +8 per cent while Chris Hipkins’s score increased 5 points to -1 per cent.
David Seymour is up 4 points to -7 per cent while Winston Peters is up 13 points to -5 per cent.
This month we also asked respondents about their views on two National Party Ministers. Paul Goldsmith had a net favourability of +5 per cent and Simeon Brown’s net favourability was +6 per cent.
Taxpayers’ Union
Interesting results regarding Paul Goldsmith and Simeon Brown. Both are more popular than Chris Hipkins, who is looking increasingly desperate.
The poll was conducted by Curia Market Research Ltd for the NZ Taxpayers’ Union. It is a random poll of 1,000 adult New Zealanders and is weighted to the overall adult population. It was conducted by phone (landlines and mobile) and online between 05 May and 07 May 2024, has a maximum margin of error of +/- 3.1 per cent and 4.2 per cent were undecided on the party vote question.

Cam I hope you added the ' do not know' and 'unsure' to the centre rights total....lol.
Oh no, wait, then we would be stooping down to the lefts gutter behavior.
Best to let the nutters get on with what they do best.
Cam, not being picky, but you also forgot to mention the damning racist speech from the greens leader....only white men commit crime!
I'm guessing they don't watch the left based propaganda news they paid for, or are so deluded to reality that they actually believe their toxic insidious beliefs.
The Greens still regularly polling 10%+ is a very scary balloon. Despite endless scandals, non-existent economic policy, untamed benefits and unbridled racism, at least 1 in 10 Kiwis think the Greens are the best.
That's NZ's biggest problem. Coupled with the idiots that still want to vote Labour and the loonies who support Te Pati Maori, the centre-right only has a slim majority.
After 3 years of abysmal government and racist social engineering we still have barely 50% of the population who want to change.
