  • Summary

  • Chris Hipkins’ falling popularity could spell trouble for his party.

    The Labour leader's slumped more than six points to 12.6% in the preferred prime minister stakes of the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia poll.

    National leader and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has taken a hit of 1.8 points - but is still leaps and bounds ahead on 32.7%.

    All up, the coalition parties have tightened their grip on power by gaining a seat, while the Opposition has lost two.

    Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Kerre Woodham that while we aren’t a presidential system, much of a political party’s popularity is based on the leader.

    He said that if you have a leader doing this badly in terms of net favourability, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the party.
