The National Party leader Simon Bridges is facing a slew of criticism over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, and a disastrous poll out this week has some calling for his resignation.
The latest political poll has National with just 30.6 percent support and in the preferred Prime Minister's stakes Bridges is on 4.5 percent.
At the same time Labour and Jacinda Ardern are enjoying a huge surge in popularity.
RNZ reporter Matthew Theunissen has been sounding out support for Bridges, beginning in his Tauranga electorate.
