Yesterday's Stuff Poll

Acknowledging the shortcomings of such polls the outcomes are nevertheless interesting;

If an election was held tomorrow, who would you vote for?

Labour (3672 votes, 28.5%)

National (6326 votes, 49.0%)

NZ First (296 votes, 2.3%)

Greens (1384 votes, 10.7%)

ACT (387 votes, 3.0%)

Maori Party (237 votes, 1.8%)

United Future NZ (249 votes, 1.9%)

Other (351 votes, 2.7%)

I wonder if anyone will analyse this poll - perhaps along the following lines:

* Why is the Labour Vote so low? Is it because their supporters don't use the net or are there other reasons.
* The Green Vote seems overstated by contrast with Labours - are the lefties switching camps?
* Is the Maori vote understated?

All of the others look about right and it is good to see ACT up, albeit only slightly.

Stuff has run political polls before but there are none archived. From memory (not always reliable) they haven't been that far removed from other polls though the Greens and ACT are generally slightly higher. So the low Labour vote is a departure.
