Labour and National have both seen their popularity increase in the first Newshub-Reid Research poll of the year.

Labour is on 44.3 percent, up 1.6 percentage points and National on 31.3 percent, up 4.4 percentage points.

ACT is down eight percentage points on eight percent, which is half what it was on in the last Newshub-Reid poll.

The Greens have overtaken ACT and are on 9.6 percent, up 2.4 points, making them once again the third highest-ranked party in Parliament.

At 44.3 percent, Labour would have 56 seats, which means they would need the Greens to govern.

The Māori Party is on 2 percent, New Zealand First on 1.8 percent, TOP on 1.5 percent and Conservative Party on 1.1 percent.

As preferred Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is still significantly ahead on 43.3 percent, up 1.6 percentage points.

However, Christopher Luxon has jumped 15.3 percentage points since becoming National’s leader and is on 17.8 percent.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach TongansĀ  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. Thatā€™s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
