Post-honeymoon bliss?

During late May and early June we had trumpeted that the honeymoon is over for the Government with the “week from hell” over Christine Rankin, Mt Albert mistakes, the Richard Worth affair, cancelled tax cuts etc.

Yet the Roy Morgan poll taken from 1 to 14 June finds no significant change in support for the Government and Opposition. National leads Labour by 19%. Also an increase in those saying NZ is heading in the right direction.

So if the honeymoon is over, I’d say National will be pretty happy with those post-honeymoon numbers.
