Poll:Winstin doesn't give a rat's derriere

[Lilith7]

The latest poll isn't good news for the govt. but I doubt there's much point in being too thrilled. Polls tend to be dodgy things; the only one which counts is on election day.
Nonetheless the comments fronm various MP's is interesting.

Winston Peters might not give a ‘rat’s derriere’ about last night’s poll, but it revealed the unusual absence of a honeymoon period and little payoff for the government’s action plan approach, writes Anna Rawhiti-Connell in this excerpt from The Bulletin, The Spinoff’s morning news round-up. 
Last night’s 1NewsVerian poll showed Labour could return to power if an election were held now. Support for National and Act has fallen, while NZ First has dropped below the 5% threshold. Labour is back up to 30% for the first time in nine months, and the Greens are on 14%. Te Pāti Māori is holding steady at 4%. They also hold six electorate seats, a position that would be pretty consequential at the next election should support for NZ First remain where it is (defying Peters’ comeback king form), and the party’s streak of not winning any electorate seat continues. The poll would give Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori 64 seats, while NZ First would be out. National and Act would have a total of 57 seats.

National's Nicola Willis doesn't want to be "drawn into the silliness" of responding to last night's 1News poll, while Labour's Chris Hipkins says the result shows voters reacting to a "litany of chaos" from the Government.
National deputy leader and Finance Minister Nicola Willis said she was "very relaxed" about the poll result while refusing to comment on her party's internal polling.
Speaking on his way into Parliament, senior minister Chris Bishop said he was "not too fussed about it, to be honest".
"Polls go up and down, we're working hard, we're making tough decisions in the national interest, got to get this country back on track."
ACT leader David Seymour said the Government was working hard to fix the economy and deal with law and order. It wouldn't, he said, be an easy fix.
"What we're doing here is getting back to work so we can start fixing the economy.
"I suspect people are very frustrated with the amount of economic pain out there, but our job is to fix that."
Seymour said he, National's Christopher Luxon and NZ First's Winston Peters were united.

You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time...

Tick tock...
