So what are they doing that is causing a worse poll performance than the Greens?

NZF support of the tobacco industry perhaps?
ACTs poor explanation of the cuts to school lunches perhaps? I note Seymour just approved an extension of the current program.
Quite a back track from what he was saying only a few months ago.

Anyway to be underperform the Greens at the moment is got to be difficult to achieve.

"Act Party leader David Seymour says “we’re the ones that are saving the school lunch programme” because the Labour Party did not budget anything for it beyond 2024.

Seymour has previously described free school lunches as “wasteful” public spending and plans to trim back the programme, which feeds children in almost 1000 schools.

Introduced by Labour in 2019, Ka Ora, Ka Ako was allocated $323.4 million in the 2023 Budget to continue it through this year but has not been funded beyond that
Associate Education Minister Seymour told the Bay of Plenty Times in Tauranga on Thursday the Labour Party did not put aside “a single cent” to fund school lunches in 2025, 2026 and 2027.
“So all of the talk about who’s cutting, just remember, the Labour Party did not fund school lunches in term one next year.”

Seymour said the Government faced the challenge of finding the money to make it work."
