A breakdown in party vote support suggests that New Zealand First has lost support among senior voters and that Labour has picked up support in Auckland, although the age breakdowns in particular, are indicative only.
In the last poll, in August, New Zealand First recorded 15 per cent support among voters aged 65 and over. In this poll it is 7.5 per cent.
National has the support of 60.4 per cent of voters aged 65 and over, compared with 57.9 per cent l in the last poll, in August.
In the last poll, Labour polled just 28.6 per cent of voters in Auckland but this month has polled 37.4 per cent.
Labour's support is also more evenly balanced between men and women than it has been. Now it has 31.6 per cent of men and 30.5 per cent of women compared to the August poll: 26 per cent of men and 35.8 per cent of women.
