In mid August support for the NZ Labour Party Government rose 2% to 40 %, 1.3% below the Labour results at the July 2002 General Election. Support for the Opposition National Party fell 1.5% to 36.5%, which is 15.6% above the National result at the General Election, the latest Morgan Poll finds.

Among the minor parties, support for New Zealand First was 8% (down 2%), the Green Party 7.5% (up 1.5%), ACT New Zealand 2.5% (up 1%), United Future New Zealand 2% (unchanged) and Other Parties 3.5% (down 1%).

This latest Morgan Poll on Voting Intention was conducted in New Zealand from August 2-15, 2005, with a New Zealand-wide cross-section of 2,131 electors. Electors were asked ‘If an election were held today which party would receive your party vote?’. Of electors who said they were likely to vote (90.5%), 7.4% were undecided.

The following table compares the latest NZ Morgan Poll on Voting Intention with the result from the previous July 27, 2002 General Election.

Morgan Poll sampling tolerance:

The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. The following table gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. The figures are approximate and for general guidance only, and assume a simple random sample. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.

Sample size	Percentage estimate
	25-75%	10% or 90%	5% or 95%
1000	Â ± 3	Â ± 2	Â ± 1½
