POLL : New poll - 2 weeks till the election CLOSED

[justakiwi]

OK, so we are two weeks out from the election. Please indicate which party you intend to give your PARTY vote to.

The last two polls returned pretty much the same results. It will be interesting to see if anything changes over the next two.

Thanks JAK, this will be interesting. Week 4->3 did present movements in all the party's, that if a third poll continued the trend, would significantly change the outcome from just 2 weeks ago.

	4 weeks	3 weeks	4->3 +/-
National	21.43%	25.64%	4.21%
Labour	4.76%	2.56%	2.20%
ACT	40.48%	35.90%	4.58%
Greens	2.30%	7.69%	5.39%
Maori	9.52%	2.56%	6.96%
NZF	0.00%	2.56%	2.56%

Hey, thanks for doing this! I hadn't realised the changes were that great - this makes it much easier to visualise them. Great job

I think the Act vote in these sharetrader polls will drop over time - because Act voters are probably more likely to stop doing them over and over.

What on earth do you mean?

Why ? I think it's most interesting if same people voted honestly each week to get a glimpse of how Sharetraders are thinking as we progress through the election campaign. Not a lot of work required to take part and only 4-5 weeks.

JAK, don't take it so personally. We are on here to hear different views and always some we dislike and don;t agree with. Continue the good work.

He means that ACT voters will probably get sick of the constant polls and stop engaging with them. They’ve been kind of fun I guess but with such a tiny sample size they in no way reflect how the population at large are thinking and the ‘trends’ such as they are are pretty much meaningless.

Bang-on correct. :-)

Their lack of respect for authority coming through?

You two are almost as predictable as your buddy Balance. Go play in your sandpit, and leave the adults to enjoy our "meaningless" bit of poll fun.
