Murray Campbell: Research Association's Polling spokesperson on the recent election

Polls are coming in thick and fast as we head towards October 14th.  The latest is the New Zealand Herald's Poll of Polls, which combines results from a range of pollsters, specifically Curia, Kantar Public, Talbot Mills, and Reid Research.  According to the Poll of Polls, National and ACT’s chances continue to soar.  They have a 95.1% chance of forming a government if the election were held this weekend, and an 87% chance of forming a government for the actual election date.  Research Association's Polling spokesperson Murray Campbell told Kerre Woodham that the accuracy of polls, when measured against the election results, is still in pretty good stead.  He said that discrepancies in the last election can be attributed to polling companies not factoring in early voting.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
