    David Cunliffe: Former Labour Leader discusses Hipkins' 'rogue poll' accusations

    07/08/2026 | 4 mins.
    Labour Leader Chris Hipkins has called the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia poll an 'outlier'.
    The poll shows Labour dropping from 31.5% to 27.8%, while National received a slight uptick to reach 31%.
    Former Labour Party Leader David Cunliffe told Heather du Plessis-Allan that even though this poll may be an outlier, Labour should still be cautious.
    'I'd say it's an outlier, and I think the thing that makes, the most sense is to look at the poll of polls, but there is some movement in that that labour needs to take a real close eye on.'
