Ipsos Issues Monitor Sep 2022
Ipsos have released their latest regular polling of major issues in New Zealand. The top five issues (people can nominate up to three) are:
- Cost of Living 58%
- Housing 33%
- Healthcare 32%
- Crime 31%
- Economy 23%
Below are how people assessed which party was best on each issue, and how that has changed from a year ago.
- Cost of Living – National 40% (+12%), Labour 26% (-11%)
- Housing – National 36% (+13%), Labour 33% (-21%)
- Healthcare – National 30% (+10%), Labour 34% (-11%)
- Crime – National 36% (+9%), Labour 26% (-9%)

So National leads on four of the top five issues. The one that Labour has dropped the most on is housing.
