Herald Poll

Oh how the left howled cries of triumph. They said the Rena would crush National. No it was the credit downgrade. No it was John Key’s gesture in Parliament. No it was over-egging what Standard and Poors said.

And then today the Herald Digipoll reports National up 1.5% and Labour down 1.2%.

Mind you while a 23% gap is a good one, it is worth recalling that the important gap is CR-CL which is closer. It still only takes a 5% swing and then a Labour/Green/Winston/Hone coalition becomes a possibility.
