OPINION: The latest Newshub/Reid Research poll is bad for National, and ugly for leader Simon Bridges. While a four in front of its result might not look like much of a crisis for National, the poll shows Bridges' popularity sinking, and on Monday night's result it looks like he is taking the party with him. Labour is on 47.5 per cent in the poll and National on 41.6 per cent. Bridges' preferred prime minister rating has sunk to 5 per cent, against Labour leader Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on 41.8. DAVID WALKER/STUFF National leader Simon Bridges - not popular.
