National had registered a 0.1 point increase to 30.1%. The Green Party had edged New Zealand First as the party with the third-highest support at 11.5%, an increase of 1.8 points on the last poll. <\/p>\n
NZ First had dipped 0.3 points to register at 11.4%. Act had jumped 1.3 points to 7.8% and Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori dropped 1 point to 3.1%, lower than Opportunity which was on 3.2%, up 0.4 points. <\/p>\n
The polling was done days after the Government\u2019s Budget, released on May 28. <\/p>\n
Regarding seats in the House, the poll results would only cause changes of one to two seats.<\/p>\n
It would deliver the same configuration as the May poll; 62 for National, Act and NZ First while Labour, the Greens and Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori had 58.<\/p>\n
Both Luxon and Hipkins took a hit to their preferred Prime Minister ratings. The National leader dropped 2.7 points to 18.8% while the Labour leader dropped 1.9 points to 17.1%. <\/p>\n
That has seemed to be hoovered up by the minor party leaders. Green Party co-leader Chl\u00f6e Swarbrick had taken the lion\u2019s share, increasing 2.7 points to 8.1%. Act leader David Seymour jumped 2.4 points to 6.3%. <\/p>\n
Both trailed Peters on 12.8%, an increase of 1.2 points on the last poll. <\/p>\n
That put Peters just 6 points shy of Luxon, the closest the two have been in this poll since June last year. <\/p>\n
