Winston's done it again.
The old political workhorse of the Pacific just keeps getting more popular.
New Zealand First has overtaken ACT in the latest Taxpayer's Union Curia Poll - it's now the third most popular party.
I'll give you a break down of the numbers shortly, but this has got to be ego bruising for Seymour.
He's just got his feet under the Deputy's desk and he's been overtaken in the polls by the bloke he's replaced.
Not that simply being the Deputy PM gets you votes, but he's trying to make a good fist of it.
Seymour's holding press conferences left, right and centre.
Yesterday, a stand-up reacting to no change in the OCR. Today, a stand-up on Stats NZ numbers.
Luxon's overseas on holiday. Winston's East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
Seymour's been bogged down with Regulatory Standard's Bill, the Treaty bill and school lunches.
Winston's been flying around the world keeping us in line with China and staving off Trump's tariffs... all while celebrating his 80th birthday.
And to top it off, he's keeping cash in circulation.
Winston is popular because he speaks his mind and knows what he's talking about. He commands respect. When he speaks, people listen.
He's a good example of a man who keeps it simple. Do your job and do it well. Work hard and stay focussed.
It's a pretty simple formula that's seen him through the last 40+ years in politics and ion these numbers will see him through atleast a couple more yet.
