Support for NZ Ardern's party drops in latest poll, but still seen winning
New Zealand's ruling Labour Party has lost some support in the latest poll, but is still set to win a general election on Oct. 17, an opinion poll showed on Monday.
The closely watched 1News-Colmar Brunton poll showed support for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's party, which is seeking a second term in office, at 47%, down 1 percentage points since the last poll on Sept. 22. The opposition National party was at 33%, up two percentage points, after its newly elected leader Judith Collins was praised for her performance at a leaders debate last week.
Smaller parties continued to gain more support, the poll showed.
