Latest poll shows support for National continuing

A string of negative stories has not dented the National Party's popularity according to the latest poll.

The Roy Morgan poll had National unchanged on 52 per cent support despite a bleak budget in May, the Richard Worth affair and a disastrous by-election in Mt Albert.

The poll taken between June 1 and June 14 had Labour support up two points to 33 per cent, the Greens down one to 7.5 per cent, ACT on 2.5 per cent (up 0.5), the Maori Party on 2.5 per cent (down 0.5).

United Future and the Progressive Party were unchanged on 0.5 per cent support.
