Where Opportunity's Voters Came From: New 1News Poll Data Reveals Party Switches
Published
A new analysis from 1News shows which political parties the Opportunity Party's voters previously supported. The data is based on vote-switching questions from four waves of the 1News Verian poll. These waves were carried out between September 23 and October 19.
Vote-switching data shows how voters move between parties over time. Pollsters ask people how they voted in the past and how they plan to vote now. This helps analysts see where a party's support is coming from. It can show whether a party is attracting new voters or taking support from other parties.
Because the data combines four separate polls, it gives a wider view than a single survey. However, poll results are estimates, not exact counts. Each survey includes only a sample of the population, so the results always have a margin of error. Readers should keep this in mind when they look at the figures.
The findings give New Zealanders a clearer picture of how the political landscape is changing. For voters, they show which parties are gaining and losing support. For the parties themselves, the data can help explain where their support comes from and where they may need to focus in the future.
