3News Poll: National Lose Lead

Tonight’s 3News/Reid research poll sees National and its franchises one seat behind the combined opposition. Labour could take over with support from the Greens and New Zealand First.

Good news for Colin Craig; his party is still more popular than ACT, the Maori Party and Peter Dunne!

Polling on foreign ownership of our housing stock is a clear winner for Labour, with 61% saying sales should be banned. Key needs to move fast or this issue will sink him.
