Prime Minister reaches new high

From The Panel, 4:17 pm on 16 April 2019

Jacinda Ardern has reached her highest preferred Prime Minister numbers ever, hitting 51 percent in 1 News Colmar Brunton Poll. Simon Bridges tied with Judith Collins on 5 percent, the lowest during his time as leader.

It looks bad for National but not a disaster yet - the party only slipped two points to 40 percent and Labour is on 48 percent.

The panelists say what they make of the numbers.
