The document provides detailed results of the Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll for April 2024, highlighting voter preferences and trends in political support. It reveals a 10% lead for the National-led coalition (National, ACT, NZ First) over the opposition (Labour, Greens, Maori Party), with 53% vs. 43% support respectively. This represents a slight decrease for the coalition and an increase for the opposition compared to the previous month.
Support changes among the coalition are broken down as follows: National decreased by 1.5% to 36.5%, ACT by 0.5% to 11%, and NZ First by 1% to 5.5%. On the opposition side, Labour increased by 1.5% to 24.5%, Greens by 0.5% to 13%, and the Maori Party by 1.5% to 5.5%.
Gender and age group analyses show that men predominantly support the coalition, especially older men, while women, particularly younger women, favor the opposition. The document also discusses the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating, which increased by 4.5 points to 85.5 in April. This improvement follows a significant drop in March amidst a recession in New Zealand.
Additionally, the document covers seat projections based on current support levels, showing potential seat wins for each party if elections were held based on April's polling data. The document also notes demographic-specific political preferences and shifts in these trends over recent months.
