Willis: latest drop in poll results not a crisis for National

From First Up, 5:51 am on 14 March 2023

Last night's 1 News Kantar Poll was bad news for the National Party and particularly its leader Christopher Luxon, who just 17 per cent of people said was their preferred Prime Minister down a massive five percentage points. Support for National was down 3 points to 34 per cent, Labour down 2 to 36 per cent. On these numbers National and Act could not form the next Government without support from Te Pati Maori. On the preferred prime minister stakes, Chris Hipkins was up 4 points to 27 per cent. Nathan Rarere asked National's deputy leader Nicola Willis is this crisis point for her party?
