RNZ-Reid Research poll: Opportunity in kingmaker position, Luxon and Hipkins approval slumps
- The Opportunity Party is in the kingmaker position, with the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll showing neither the coalition nor the opposition would have the numbers to form a government without its help.
- The party has tipped over the 5 percent threshold for the first time in this poll, changing the seats in the House calculations, and the make-up of Parliament altogether.
- If replicated on polling day, the right bloc would have 59 seats and the left bloc 55 - both needing Opportunity's 6 to get over the line.
