Maori TV have a poll of Te Tai Tonga.

Party Vote:

  • Labour 43% (+4% from election)
  • National 17% (+2%)

Annoying the news report does not say who did the poll, or the sample size, which is essential to include in any report.

UPDATE: The video does have details thought. It was done by Reid Research and the margin of error suggest around 500 responses.
