Hipkins overtakes Luxon as preferred PM as centre-left gains in new poll

Taxpauyers' Union Curia poll March 2025 news

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has overtaken Prime Minister Christopher Luxon as the preferred leader, while the latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll suggests the centre-left bloc could form a government.

Conducted between 2-4 March, the poll shows Labour rising to 34.1% (+2.8), slightly ahead of National at 33.6% (+1.7). The Greens (-3.2), ACT (-2.3), and New Zealand First (-1.3) all declined, while Te Pāti Māori gained 2.1 points to 6.5%.

The result translates to a 62-seat majority for the centre-left, surpassing the 61-seat threshold, while the centre-right bloc drops to 58 seats.

Hipkins now leads Luxon in preference (20.7% vs. 20.3%), and Luxon’s net favourability has dropped to -10%.

Taxpayers’ Union spokesperson James Ross called the results “more bad news for the coalition government,” citing economic dissatisfaction as a key driver of the shift.

  1. What load of bullshit who would vote for that little puppet Luxon is shocking but he would be worse.Seymore would be better.

  2. Not even ONE TERM completed. This is where ignoring the wishes of an increasingly impatient and fed up voter base, gets you National. Frankly, given the appalling legislation,. most especially the so called Gene Technology Bill, I’m not surprised New Zealander’s, including right wingers, have turned on this government in disgust.

    Its just a shame to see them backing the same dishonest globalist morons, who led to this lot being elected in the first place. How bad does it need to get before people vote for new party’s and REAL change?

    • How bad does it need to get before people vote for a new party?

      About 20 years ago, they implemented a 5% threshold that has effectively locked out any chance of change, despite the Electoral Commission advising against it at the time. These individuals need to be punished severely.

  3. Oh haha! 😂😂😂😂 look I don’t like Luxon but Hipkins? Bitchkins? I don’t believe it for a second! If it’s true it shows you just how many people were employed by Labours communistic money laundering schemes.

  4. And those cocksocks in National thought they could just push their GE BS through, there is no difference between cocksock #1 and cocksock #2 so just rotate them every 3 years.

    • The realities of the Uni-Party Death Cult System…
      After all, Chippy (Howdy-Dooty) threatened to chase me and my family down and forcibly vaccinate us with the untested bio-weapon known as the Covid-19 vaccine!
      Picture an amendment to the video below, that being;
      Howdy = Chippy;
      The audience = the MSM begging to be fed a morsel of fake news;
      Buffalo Bob = ‘The Covid and genetic Experts’…

    • Hmmm, what goes on behind closed doors. On a serious note, elections are electronically altered to favour the agenda. Whomever is “voted” in to represent the people does not appear to be making the decisions for the people, or making decisions full stop. Rather these representatives are hog tied puppets whom answer to a power that is not looking out for the people of NZ.

  5. Just goes to show what effects having to put food on the table brings about
    Most ironically caused by the Labour Government money printing during covid which like all other Western countries resulting in spiraling inflation and interest rates
    And the harsh measures Luflake and co are having to traverse in fighting such

  6. Are people really that thick that they would for a second want Lie-bor back in power? I’m off to Oz if that’s the case

  7. Oh what short memories people have, Hipkins will never be Prime Minister, it’s just the usual left wing media narrative that has shown in the polls, we all remember how the propaganda machine works.
    Luxon does need to dump his advisors, if he doesn’t grow a spine he will never recover, National voter’s will head to NZ first and Act, the media wants to break the coalition, they told us.

  8. If you do not vote, you abstain, and abstention is agreeing with the system. Voting for any “political party” is voting for the current system, by profound irony so is abstention [not voting]. They use abstention against you. The main stream media are part of the lie. They say voting for a smaller/fringe party is a “protest vote”. It is not. It is voting for the system the same as abstention. “Abstention from voting only empowers tyranny further, as proven by our current governance. The greater the abstention, the greater and more prolonged the tyranny.”
    – “Only cowards and fools abstain from voting” Abraham Lincoln.
    It is Important to consider the following points to understand why spoiling a ballot by writing “I DO NOT CONSENT” is in fact the only REAL PROTEST VOTE: Which means, your spoilt ballot counts.

  9. All our mainstream politicians sold their souls a long time ago. You cant get in the club if you don’t. Even if a politician tries to break free, he/she will have their offspring pay the price. Have their reputation ruined and sent to prison.

    These guys are in charge of the worlds armed forces. The police, nuclear launch codes. The courts. Who receives free money, who does not. Getting a straight political leader into power is one thing. Keeping him or her alive, away safe from being setup for false allegations or assassination is another.

    • When Russian President Boris Yeltsin was looking for his predecessor, he called in several candidates for a meeting.
      In that meeting, all were offered bribe money in cash Rubles, and all of them took the bribe money except for one person;
      That person was Vladimir Putin, and this is when Yeltsin chose Putin to be his successor, since Putin could not be corrupted and this would result in the protective effect of Russia being cleaned-up and the J3wi$h Talmudic influences permanently removed from ever pulling off another 1917, where 66 million Russian Orthodox Christians died!
      The bribe money, BTW, came from Zionist investors and banksters.
      THAT is why the Mossad-controlled Western Nations hate Puitn- he cannot be bought, bribed, or blackmailed!
      Check out Putin’s comments in the music video below- be sure to set your settings to English translation…

  10. This treasonous covid criminal is certainly one of the more popular controlled puppets of the uniparty. The brainwashed mass certainly seem indoctrinated towards him when they arent kicking a ball or cheering someone who does. Meanwhile, more “unexplained deaths” and turbo cancer….. Etc
    The fluoride has really worked on the homogenous mass. Still sleeping.
    I always believed my nation to be more aware. How wrong i was. Soooooo wrong. Even with all the evidence of foul play, fraud and collusion, the mass buys the fake narrative.
    Im ashamed of nz now. Sold out. Filthy. Crooked, run by criminals for overseas investors. Sick with corporate psyop slop food and dumb on grooming filled movies and tv.
    This is a shameful nation of ignorant sheep who are easily programmed with lies. Easily misled down the transhumanist toilet without question.
    Hipkins is a great leader of the feckless who scarcely delve beyond their tv news programming.

    • Rupert & Mein Fuhrer always call it out like it is…as does Unquackccinated, KptLt U-977, and NZ Loyal Party Voter.
      This is why I’ve grown to hate the mainline sports that the MSM promotes as a diversionary tactic designed to deflect one’s attention away from the political scene!
      I could give a shit less about Rugby (Thugby…), Cricket, Netball, Tennis, Golf, etc. as the MSM dedicates over :25 minutes per night on this crap when it could be reporting on more substantial news ie Alternative sources, ‘news’ we never hear about (no thanks to the Sinclair News Service…),

    Want to bet it was a labor paper Stuff
    Luxon is a failure but still a better option than labor. I wonder if hipkins] will threaten to lock us all up,if we don’t get the flu shot .
    He wanted everyone who didn’t get the c shot locked up
