Political commentator on new poll

From Midday Report, 12:15 pm on 27 July 2020

Judith Collins has failed to turn around National's popularity, with the opposition party sinking to new lows in the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll.

Last night's survey is the first since Ms Collins took over as leader - It shows National slumping to 25.1 percent. 

That's down from 30.6 percent in May, a result which spelled the beginning of the end for then-leader Simon Bridges.

The party is calling it a rogue poll.

To discuss this Philippa Tolley speaks to political scientist Dr Bryce Edwards.
