The Labour Party has not fared well in the latest poll, dropping almost 10 percentage points and now behind National

The Newshub-Reid Research Poll shows Labour on 41.6 per cent, down 9.2 points in the opinion of those who responded.

National rose 6.5 per cent to 43.9.

Jacinda Ardern's popularity, while taking a 10.6 per cent dip, remains high at 38.4.

It's not all bad news for Simon Bridges though - he has moved ahead of party rival Judith Collins, gaining 2.5 per cent to sit on 6.7 - while Ms Collins is down to 5.2.
