Fairfax poll breakdowns

Some interesting data in the breakdown of the Fairfax poll. Now note that these can be small sample sizes with high margins of error. But still some value in them.

I’ve listed National’s support from the strongest to weakest demographics:

• 65+ yr olds 55.5%
• Men 53.6%
• 45 – 64 52.6%
• Lower NI 50.6%
• Auckland 50.2%
• Upper NI 49.8%
• All 49.4%
• South Island (rest) 49.1%
• Canterbury 47.8%
• Wellington 47.3%
• 30 – 46 46.1%
• Women 45.7%
• 18 – 29 40.6%

The interesting thing about those breakdowns is that older voters always turn out in much greater proportions than younger voters. Also interesting how strong Auckland is for National.
