What do NZers think of the Mongrel Mob and Black Power

The monthly Curia omnibus poll asks New Zealanders if they have a positive, neutral or negative opinion of various New Zealand organisations and groups – tracking public sentiment on them (only costs $750 + GST a month).

In the October 2023 poll, I decided to also ask about two organisations we don’t normally poll on – the Mongrel Mob and Black Power.

I was interested in this, as media and some political parties seem to treat them as just another community organisation. They get softball questions on what they think of hardline law & order policies. Their PR person gets lots of airtime for them. The former Government funded them to help with drug rehabilitation.

So I was interested in what ordinary New Zealanders views were, and whether they varied by party support.

The full breakdown of the results are on my Patreon (paywalled).

What I can reveal here is that fewer New Zealanders had a favourable view of the Mongrel Mob or Black Power than the proportion of New Zealanders who believe 9/11 was an inside job planned by the US Government!
