The latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll shows the Coalition government can still form a majority with 63 projected seats, despite a sharp 10-point drop in net country direction to -12.7%.

National rose slightly to 34.6%, while Labour gained 3.4 points to 33.2%.

ACT and the Greens both dropped, while NZ First and Te Pāti Māori held steady.

The poll highlights growing public concern over government debt, now at $190 billion, with Taxpayers’ Union warning National to present a credible fiscal plan ahead of Budget 2025 or “risk losing public confidence”.

The poll was conducted by Curia Market Research Ltd for the NZ Taxpayers’ Union. It is a random poll of 1,000 adult New Zealanders and is weighted to the overall adult population. It was conducted by phone (landlines and mobile) and online between Wednesday 30 April and Sunday 04 May 2025. It has a maximum margin of error of +/- 3.1%.
