    The Greens say they're not worried about poll results - ahead of this year's election

    The Greens say they're not worried about poll results - ahead of this year's election


    Over this term the party's reached as high as 15 percent in some surveys.

    But it dropped to seven percent in the last 1 News Verian poll of 2025.

    Co-leaders Chloe Swarbrick and Marama Davidson says they're keeping on doing their core job.

    Davidson says the party will say the same things no matter the result - while Swarbrick says politics would be better if the focus was on policy, not the polls.
