The New Zealand Herald has seen the latest poll results from UMR - Labour's polling company - for a poll which ended on August 17. That had National down three points from the week before to just 40% - although the UMR poll traditionally has National at a lower level than most public polls. However, while the Green Party was on 4.3% in that Colmar Brunton poll - below the 5% threshold to return to Parliament - it had stayed steady on 8% in the UMR poll. The move down for National in the UMR over the space of the week is similar to that in the Colmar Brunton poll in which National dropped from 47 to 44%. • The UMR poll canvasses 750 voters and has a margin of error of +/- 3.6%.
