New Zealand's National-led coalition government, led by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, is facing declining voter support amid economic frustrations and concerns about the country's trajectory. Recent polling shows a shift towards the parliamentary left bloc, which could form a government if elections were held now. Luxon's approval ratings have plummeted, with a notable drop in public confidence in the economy, posing challenges for the coalition that had promised to improve economic conditions through new policies. Many voters feel the government is moving in the wrong direction.
Of those surveyed in the Verian poll, 36% felt optimistic about the economy - a 5 point drop from the December poll, while there was a three point increase in economic pessimism to 25%.
The coalition government campaigned on promises to fix New Zealand's economy and has introduced a wave of new policies to try to achieve this, including relaxing immigration settings.
