Labour’s problem with men

National has more support than Labour with men and women. It has a credible 12% lead in the Herald DigiPoll with women and a massive 36% lead amongst men. Labour is down to 25% support amongst men, and the Herald looks at a case in point:

There’s only one solitary Labour voter left in the panelbeating workshop of Auckland Panel and Print _ and he’s leaving the country because he can’t afford a house in New Zealand. …

This illustrates nicely how Labour has lost much of its working class support. Unless Labour can lifts it male vote by 8% or so, it is hard to see that it could win.
