New Zealand First deputy leader Shane Jones says he’s not fazed by a poll showing the party would be out of parliament is an election was held tomorrow.
The 1News-Varian poll put Labour back on 30 percent and capable of forming a government with the Greens and Te Pāti Māori.
National dropped two points to 36 percent, ACT was down to 7 percent and just 4 percent said they would vote New Zealand First.
Mr Jones says his focus is the Government’s first Budget at the end of May.
“Politics is a bit like a marathon it’s sadly not a short sprint but from time to time when you’re in the long distance race you do strike a few stumbles along the way,” he says.
Christopher Luxon is still the most preferred Prime Minister at 23 percent, down two points, and Labour leader Chris Hipkins up a point to 16 percent.
