The Indian Weekender Friday, September 25, 2020 NEW ZEALAND 5 One News- Colmar Brunton Polls: Second Wave of Coronavirus fails to dent Jacinda Ardern’s popularity SANDEEP SINGH Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has comfortably walked away with her popularity and support intact in the first polls after the resurgence of the second wave of Coronavirus in the community in mid-August, leaving the opposition National Party clueless. The much-awaited One News-Colmar Brunton Polls returned Jacinda Ardern’s Labour Party comfortably placed to govern alone at 48 per cent dropping only 5 per cent from the last such polls in July. The National Party was languishing at 31 percent, one percent below what it was polling in July polls. The polls has demonstrated that New Zealanders are still not buying National’s relentless criticism of the government on some critical issues around Covid management including border management, yo-yo ing different regions in lockdowns and seemingly accompanied economic strangulations. It also appears that National’s policyblitzkrieg after Judith Collins’ elevation as the Leader of the Party has also not enticed significant punters. The Party has launched a significant number of policies focussed on infrastructure, small businesses, education, new-born child care and parental support, border management, among others, probably in order to showcase the policy-deficit of the Labour Party. It seems to have yet not convinced a majority of New Zealanders. However, there will be another poll coming soon before elections.
