A Roy Morgan poll taken last month and published last night shows confidence in whether the country is on the right track or wrong track collapsed by 17 percentage points in March from February, which is more than it fell during any of the covid lockdown months in Auckland in late 2021.
But the poll’s measure of support for the respective parties showed little movement yet, with combined support for the National/ACT/NZ First coalition parties up one percentage point from February to 56%, while support for Labour/Green was down half a percentage point at 40.5%.

I mean, sort of. The country's a mess, but people are still supporting the new government.
I tend to think our population is still divided (ideologically), many struggling financially, and concerned about the future and whether anyone has an actual plan or if we're just fumbling along.
We previously had a useless government that the media defended at all costs, now we have a new government that the media is attacking constantly. If you get your perspective from what the media tells you, you're probably shocked. If you don't watch the news but only see the outrage clips, it's comical. Things don't change overnight, but the news is on every day, so there are far more opportunities to be outraged than celebrate the progress made.
