Pollies: Labour's Ginny Andersen talks polls, Treaty Principles submissions, and Donald Trump's inauguration - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Labour has eked ahead in the polls as the cost of living crisis bites. 

The latest Taxpayers' Union Curia poll has Labour overtaking National, the latter falling to 29.6%, against Labour's four percentage point jump, to 30.9%. 

Ginny Andersen told Ryan Bridge that it’s an indication the economy is biting. 

She says that New Zealanders aren’t really getting what they voted for, and that’s coming through in the polls.  

Health is the other big ticket issue impacting the polls, Andersen says, which is why Luxon is trying to head it off by putting Simeon Brown in charge of the portfolio.
