Labour's polling is the lowest this year

The Recent Roy Morgan Poll has Labour on 29%, the lowest this year. Taking into account the margin of error, Labour's polling is around the same mark as its gap with National.

Labour lap-blog The Standard thought the last poll made grim reading for the left. This one is worse. The scary thing is that NZ First is the fourth most popular party, polling more than Act, Progressives and United Future combined. Now if Helen Clark was the NZ First leader, they could even make a fist of it at the election next year.But then the NZ Fist jokes will start up again, and start to sound a bit queer.

Labour needs to start being an opposition.
