Opinion polling for the 2026 New Zealand general election

Eight polling firms have conducted opinion polls during the term of the 54th New Zealand Parliament (2023–present) for the 2026 New Zealand general election. The regular polls are the quarterly polls produced by Television New Zealand ( 1 News ) conducted by Verian (formerly known as Colmar Brunton and Kantar Public) and Radio New Zealand (RNZ) conducted by Reid Research, ^[1] along with monthly polls by Roy Morgan and by Curia (Taxpayers' Union). Curia Market Research is no longer a member of the Research Association of New Zealand, following complaints and the resignation from RANZ by its principal, David Farrar. ^[2] The sample size, margin of error, and confidence interval of each poll varies by organisation and date.

The current parliament was elected on 14 October 2023. The election is scheduled to be held on 7 November 2026.

Forecasts

The use of mixed-member proportional representation allows ready conversion of a party's support into a party vote percentage and therefore a number of seats in Parliament. Projections generally assume no material change to the electorate seats held by each party (ACT retains Epsom and Tāmaki, Greens retain Auckland Central, Rongotai and Wellington Central, Te Pāti Māori retains all six of their Māori electorates, etc). However, projections that show the National Party winning fewer than 44 total seats (44 being the number of electorate seats currently held by National) assume that National will lose at least enough electorates to avoid an overhang. Parties that do not hold an electorate seat and poll below 5% are assumed to win zero seats.

When determining the scenarios for the overall result, the minimum parties necessary to form majority governments are listed (provided parties have indicated openness to working together). Actual governments formed may include other parties beyond the minimum required for a majority; this happened after the 2014 election, when National only needed one seat from another party to reach a 61-seat majority, but instead chose to form a 64-seat government with Māori, ACT and United Future. ^[11]
