Roy Morgan: Support for National-led Government and Labour-led Opposition now tied


Roy Morgan’s New Zealand Poll for March 2026 shows the National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) on 47.5%, down 1% point and effectively tied with the Labour-Greens-Te Pāti Māori Parliamentary Opposition on 48%, up 1% point, the latest Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll finds.

Amongst the National-led Government support for National dropped 4.5% to 26.5% - its lowest level of support since National was elected to Government in late 2023, support for NZ First was up 1.5% to 11% - its highest level of support since being elected to Government, while support for ACT was up 2% to 10%.

For the Parliamentary Opposition, support for Labour increased 4% points to 34%, support for the Greens dropped 3.5% points to 11%, and support for Te Pāti Māori was up 0.5% to 3%.

A further 4.5% (unchanged) of electors supported a minor party outside Parliament. This includes 4% (unchanged) who support Opportunity and a further 0.5% (unchanged) who support other minor parties including the NewZeal, NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party (NZOFP), Vision NZ, Conservative Party NZ, Women’s Right’s Party and the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.

National-led Government and Labour-led Parliamentary Opposition set for 60 seats each

The survey results for March would lead to the National-led Government winning 60 seats (down eight seats from the election) and the Labour-led Parliamentary Opposition would win 60 seats (up five seats).

For the governing coalition National’s support would win 33 seats (down 16 seats from the election), support for ACT would equal 13 seats (up two seats) and NZ First would win 14 seats (up six seats).

For the three Opposition parties Labour’s support would secure 42 seats (up eight seats), Greens support would mean 14 seats (down one seat) and Te Pāti Māori would win four seats (down two seats).......full poll results published HERE
