Poll: National down and out of Government in new Talbot Mills poll

  • August 14, 2026

Those numbers would have the parliamentary Opposition in a position to form a Government if they did a deal with Opportunity.

The polling period was August 1-11 and has a margin of error of 3.1%.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins was up one point in the preferred Prime Minister stakes to 23%, overtaking Luxon who was steady on 22%.

The latest Herald-Motu Research Poll of Polls, which does not include this poll, suggested the coalition would narrowly be able to form a Government.

The model showed National polling 30.2%, one point ahead of Labour on 29.2%. NZ First had 12.4%, the Greens 10.9%, Act was estimated to be on 7.1%, and Opportunity was close behind on 6.9%.
