Labour hits new low

No we’re not talking their tactics, but their poll ratings.

The latest Fairfax Ipsos poll has Labour down to 22.5%. I’e blogged the summary at Curiablog.

The gap between the right and left blocs is 27 seats.

Labour’s support by demographic is:

• Men 18%
• Women 27%
• Auckland 25%
• Upper NI 16%
• Wellington 23%
• Lower NI 30%
• Canterbury 14%
• SI 27%
• Under 30s 26%
• 30 to 44 25%
• 45 to 64 21%
• 65+ 19%

Note this poll was taken after their announcement of free GP visits for elderly New Zealanders, and after their campaign launch which is meant to be what gives you a boost in the polls.

There’s going to some very nervous Labour List MPs on this result, who will be cursing the unions and activists for their choice of leader.
