The governing parties are now just 5% points ahead of the Parliamentary opposition National/Act NZ/ Maori Party on 44.5%, up 1% point since June. This is the highest level of support for the Parliamentary Opposition since October 2019 and the closest theyve been to the Government since Jacinda Ardern became Prime Minister in October 2017 nearly four years ago.
Support for National was virtually unchanged at 29%, down 0.5% points, while the big mover was Act NZ which increased its support by 1.5% points to a record high 13%. This is the first time since 2002 that Act NZ has gained a higher level of support than the Greens. Support for the Maori Party was unchanged at 2.5%.
A small minority of 6% of electors support other minor parties outside Parliament with support for The Opportunities Party up 1% point to a record high 3%, support for NZ First up 0.5% points to 2% in July.
This latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone both landline and mobile with a New Zealand-wide cross-section of 945 electors during July. Electors were asked: If a New Zealand Election were held today which party would receive your party vote? Of all electors surveyed an unchanged 4.5% didnt name a party.
New Zealand Government Confidence Rating drops 3pts to pandemic low of 121 in July
The Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating dropped by 3pts in July to 121 the lowest it has been since Jacinda Ardern became Prime Minister in October 2017 nearly four years ago.
In July a reduced majority of 55.5% (down 1.5% points) of New Zealand electors said New Zealand was heading in the right direction compared to over a third, 34.5% (up 1.5% points) who said New Zealand was heading in the wrong direction the highest figure for this indicator since Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern came to power in October 2017.
The latest monthly ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating was down slightly by 1pt to 113.1 in July but is still well above the corresponding Consumer Confidence figure in Australia of 100.7 on July 24/25, 2021 as that country battles a renewed outbreak of COVID-19 in Sydney.
Massive Gender gap as Women favour Labour-Greens and men favour National-Act NZ
Analysing voting intentions by gender reveals where Prime Minister Jacinda Arderns strength lies.
A clear majority of 58.5% of Women support either Labour (46.5%) or the Greens (12%) compared to only 40.5% of men supporting either Labour (32.5%) or the Greens (8%) a massive gender gap of 18% points in favour of Arderns Labour Party among Women.
In fact a majority of men support the Parliamentary opposition with 52.5% supporting either National (32.5%), Act NZ (17.5%) or the Maori Party (2.5%) compared to only 36.5% of Women supporting either National (25.5%), Act NZ (8.5%) or the Maori Party (2.5%).
Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating is 130 for Women compared to 112 for men
The trends are confirmed by the latest Roy Morgan Government Confidence figures which show 59% of Women say New Zealand is heading in the right direction compared to 52% of men and only 29% of Women say New Zealand is heading in the wrong direction compared to 40% of men.
Overall, this produces a Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating of 130 for Women compared to only 112 for men a gap of 18 points.

Michele Levine, CEO Roy Morgan, says a huge gender gap has opened up in NZ politics with Prime Minister Jacinda Arderns Labour-Greens Government enjoying the support of 58.5% of Women but a majority of 52.5% of men supporting the Parliamentary Opposition:
Todays Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll shows the Labour-led Government has the support of 49.5% of New Zealand electors with support for the Labour Party at 39.5% and a further 10% supporting the Greens.
Support for the Government is down 1.5% points on June and is the lowest support for the Labour-led Government since coming to power in October 2017. The Parliamentary Opposition is now supported by 44.5% of electors with support split between National (29%), Act NZ (13%) and the Maori Party (2.5%).
However, the top-line results dont tell the full story and there is a large difference between who Women and men support. Womens support for Prime Minister Arderns Government (58.5%) remains strong with high support for Labour (46.5%) and the Greens (12%).
In contrast, a majority of men support the Parliamentary Opposition (52.5%) with nearly a third supporting National (32.5%) and one-in-five supporting either Act NZ (17.5%) or the Maori Party (2.5%).
Overall, the gender gaps are significant with 58.5% of Women supporting Labour-Greens compared to only 40.5% of men a gender gap of 18.5% points. This gap is slightly larger than the advantage men give to the grouping of National-Act NZ-Maori Party which is supported by 52.5% of men and 36.5% of Women a gender gap of 16.5% points.
The gender split is currently working in favour of the Government with support from Women for Prime Minister Arderns Government holding up and support on the centre-right being increasingly split between National and the libertarian-minded Act NZ which has now reached a record high result of 13% in July.
The slow pace of New Zealands vaccine rollout isnt helping with only 13% of the population fully vaccinated and just over 1.8 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines so far administered and New Zealands international borders set to remain closed until at least early 2022.
This is a stark contrast to the scenes from the UK over the last few weeks as the country celebrated its so-called Freedom Day with nearly 90% of British adults receiving at least one vaccine dose and around 70% of adults now fully vaccinated.
The slow rate of the vaccine rollout is also a significant factor in the Governments decision to suspend the travel bubble with Australia for the next two months following a large outbreak of COVID-19 in Sydney. Although the decision is necessary given the risks of the highly contagious Delta variant entering the country it will nevertheless disrupt the travel plans of tens of thousands of New Zealanders hoping to hop across the ditch.
