7:23 pm on 8 October 2013

A poll of Maori voters in the Waiariki electorate shows most surveyed do not think the Government is heading in the right direction.

The Te Karere Digipoll reveals only 15% of voters think the Government is heading in the right direction.

As well, 86% feel their whanau is either worse off or no different under the current Government, with only 11% feeling better off.

The poll also shows Waiariki voters to be motivated to get out and have their say on election day, with 95% saying they will head to the polls.

The poll surveyed 500 voters by landline, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3%.
