Bill English NZ's preferred PM on latest Newshub poll

It's neck and neck, but National leader Bill English is New Zealand's preferred Prime Minister in the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll.

According to the poll, National could govern alone, just scraping a majority of 61 seats from 121.

The poll has the Greens on 4.9 percent - too low to enter Parliament without winning an electoral seat. Without them, on this poll Labour would be unable to form a coalition government.
