Rogue Poll #8765 – Nats still in front

by Whaleoil on October 31, 2009

National one year on: National’s ratings riding high – Politics – NZ Herald News.

Yet another rogue poll continues to show Labour trailing National.

National 57%
Labour 32%
Greens 4.6% and below the 5% threshold
ACT 1%
Maori 3%

Worse still for Labour are the preferred Prime Minister stakes.

John Key is first by a wide margin and one year after the mendacious witch was tipped from power Helen Clark still out-polls Phil Goff.

John Key 55.3%
Helen Clark 10.6%
Phil Goff 6.2%
Winston Peters 2.1%
Pita Sharples 0.9%
Russel Norman 0.6%
Rodney Hide 0.5%
Bill English riding high in popularity behind Rodney Hide at 0.3%

The problem for Labour is that other than Helen Clark there is no-one else figuring in the polls for preferred anything. in fact the only polls they would figure in is probably the most loathed person in New Zealand.

    Did I hear someone say Labour – lite.

    They stay at this level since they are wearing Helens clothes. Even little Caesar spends a lot of time overseas, like Helen did. Meanwhile his ministers have flouted his authority and got the taxpayers to pay for wives, girlfriends on expensive overseas trips.

    Prime Minister Don Brash knows all about rogue polls, that is any polls 'before' election year
    And that new generation stuff worked for Jenny Shipley , instead of Jim Bolger, changing the guard before the election.

    I agree Hide is dead as a brand…I have never seen such universally negative comments on any topic on NZ Herald ever…He and Douglas, total hypocrites and now exposed for all the world to see. There is something very sad about an old man and a very young woman together , especially when the 22 year age gap looks far greater than that . As my father would say ''There is no fool like an old fool.''
