from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

A new poll has the coalition returning to power - despite a drop in support for the minor Government parties.  The latest Taxpayers' Union Curia poll has National up slightly to 30 percent and Labour down to 31.9 percent. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the minor parties have taken a hit, with ACT and NZ First looking less solid than they did in earlier polls.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
