Polls conducted after Chris Hipkins became prime minister have given New Zealand’s governing party its best result in a year
The polls were conducted before the flooding in Auckland and therefore do not capture New Zealanders’ assessment of the government handling of the crisis. A state of emergency remains in place in Auckland, where the flood waters have killed at least four people, displaced hundreds, and seen homes carried off their foundations or destroyed by landslides.
The Newshub-Reid Research poll, however, indicated that Hipkins – known to New Zealanders as the face of the country’s Covid response – has also won a level of trust that his opponent, ex-business executive Christopher Luxon, struggled to match.
