From Checkpoint, 6:07 pm on 30 May 2022

The National Party has held its lead over Labour in the latest One News/Kantar poll.

It seems Labour's big budget announcement last week haven't convinced voters, they've dropped two percent to sit on 35 percent.

National's popularity remains unchanged, it's still at 39 percent. As for the minor parties, the Greens are on 10 percent, ACT on seven percent and Te Pāti Māori on 2 percent.

But Jacinda Ardern remains in the lead for preferred Prime Minister even though she has dropped another point to 33 percent. Christopher Luxon remains behind her on 25 percent.

RNZ deputy political editor Craig McCulloch joins Lisa Owen with his analysis.
