Brigitte Morton: Former Senior Ministerial Advisor for the National Party on the Newshub-Reid poll results

Labour has plunged 5.5% in the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll, taking the party to just under 27% support.

National has shot up to 40.9%, while ACT's on 10%, the Greens 12.3% and New Zealand First is tip-toeing up to the threshold at 4.6%.

Former Senior Ministerial Advisor for the National Party Brigitte Morton told Kate Hawkesby that it’s a significant swing and is likely to stabilize back.

She said that this is probably the most significant downfalls in popularity that the Labour Government has seen.
