National says Curia looks a lot more like CB- to me, that actually reinforces that they’re both using phone-only polling and it’s causing them trouble getting their methodology right, but I’m sure there will be other takes as to what’s going on. I don’t think any of the last few polls have been “rogue” looking at this trend, this is a result of differing leans because of differing methodologies, and 2017 was definitely better predicted by the polling methodologies that have Labour trending up and National trending down.
TVNZ gives Collins’ approval as “+27” in their reporting, but also notes that a total of 56% approved and 23% disapproved- making that figure consistent with the way Reid Research reports it (and what I understand a “net approval rating” to mean…) gives her a +33% net approval. This is a useful point of comparison to Reid Research, who had her on +8.7%, as there really should have been minimal positive change to approval or negative change to disapproval for Collins between the two polls with Collins only making a fool of herself in the meantime, so there’s a definite difference in lean between CB and RR lately, given they have her approves about 16 points higher and her disapproves about 8 lower. As above, given RR was closer to predicting last election and also aligns better with the National/Labour trend from Roy Morgan, I am more inclined to believe it overall on approval rating.
The incidence of the smaller incumbent parties going under threshold in this simulation was:
Greens: 51.2% of simulations
NZF: All simulations
ACT: 62.8% of simulations
The Greens should approach 50%, so this is likely an unfriendly simulation run for them, but it’s notable that there wasn’t a single government where Labour required their help within the margin of error here.
Finally, the list analysis. Again, this analysis is based on trying to determine how many electorates won/lost, and I don’t stand by individual seat calls. I’ve tweaked it a little bit, as looking at historical elections where National is behind, they were losing too few electorate seats. The model now assumes about an eleventh of the vote is uninfluenced by the 2017 electorate vote, and that they will vote two ticks for parties whose party votes have improved since 2017. Unrelated to this change, National’s improved party vote in this poll has won them back Northland from Shane Jones in the model, meaning no New Zealand First returning without a sharp change of fortune.
These party vote results give us electorate totals of:
ACT: 1
Labour: 39
National: 32
And thus the following Parliament:
I predict that if the election were held over this poll’s field period, we’d see the following MPs delivered in on the National list: (assuming it mirrors their caucus rankings)
3 | Paul Goldsmith |
7 | Chris Bishop |
12 | Michael Woodhouse |
13 | Nicola Willis |
16 | Melissa Lee |
18 | Nick Smith |
19 | Alfred Ngaro |
21 | Harete Hipango |
24 | Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi |
It also loses them the following incumbents:
28 | Lawrence Yule |
29 | Denise Lee |
30 | Parmjeet Parmar |
31 | Brett Hudson |
34 | Jo Hayes |
39 | Maureen Pugh |
41 | Agnes Loheni |
42 | Paulo Garcia |
In from the Labour list would be: (no incumbents predicted to lose seats)
7 | Andrew Little |
9 | David Parker |
11 | Trevor Mallard |
15 | Kris Faafoi |
17 | Ayesha Verrall |
19 | Willie Jackson |
20 | Aupito William Sio |
22 | Vanushi Walters |
27 | Louisa Wall |
30 | Camilla Belich |
32 | Jan Tinetti |
34 | Marja Lubeck |
35 | Angie Warren-Clark |
36 | Willow-Jean Prime |
38 | Naisi Chen |
39 | Jo Luxton |
40 | Jamie Strange |
41 | Liz Craig |
42 | Ibrahim Omer |

50 | Angela Roberts |
51 | Shanan Halbert |
54 | Lemauga Lydia Sosene |
56 | Dan Rosewarne |
60 | Soraya Peke-Mason |
61 | Lotu Fuli |
New Labour Electorate Winners:
25 | Kiri Allan |
26 | Kieran McAnulty |
31 | Priyanca Radhakrishnan |
45 | Ginny Andersen |
48 | Helen White |
52 | Neru Leavasa |
55 | Steph Lewis |
57 | Rachel Boyack |
– | Anna Lorck |
And on the Greens’ list, this would give us:
1 | Marama Davidson | In |
2 | James Shaw | In |
3 | Chlöe Swarbrick | In |
4 | Julie Anne Genter | In |
5 | Jan Logie | In |
6 | Eugenie Sage | In |
7 | Golriz Ghahraman | Out |
Will provide ACT’s expected list MPs when I get my hands on their party list, but I assume there are 5 friends of David Seymour, whether or not one of them is also named David Seymour.
