ith the election roughly a year away, polls reveal eroding confidence in the coalition government and record-low ratings for Prime Minister Luxon, alongside widespread views that the country is veering off course.

As of October, recent opinion polls indicate that the National-led coalition government (National, ACT, and New Zealand First) is facing significant public dissatisfaction. 

A consistent majority of respondents believe the country is heading in the "wrong direction" under the current administration, with approval ratings for Prime Minister Christopher Luxon at their lowest levels since he took office. 

Party support remains closely contested, with the coalition and opposition blocs (Labour, Greens, and Te Pāti Māori) roughly tied, suggesting a potential deadlocked parliament if an election were held today. 

Below is a summary of key findings from polls conducted in 2025, focusing on the most recent ones.

In the same RNZ poll, Hipkins leads Luxon as preferred Prime Minister (23% vs. 19.6%). 

These trends suggest the government is under pressure, with polls like the September Taxpayers' Union–Curia showing a potential opposition majority and others pointing to a one-term risk for National. 

Key issues driving dissatisfaction include economic concerns and policy delivery, though specific policy polls (e.g., strong support for rates caps) show pockets of alignment with government initiatives.
