Polling Company: DigiPoll
Poll Method: Random Phone
Poll Size: 981 respondents of whom 920 (6.1% are undecided) were decided, (3.4% maximum margin of error)
Dates: 29 October to 02 November 2008
Client: NZ Herald
Report: NZ Herald main story
Party Support
- National 47.9% (-2.5%)
- Labour 36.4% (-0.6%)
- Green 5.8% (+0.4%)
- NZ First 3.9% (+1.8%)
- Maori 2.3% (-0.1%)

Projected Seats
- National 61
- Labour 46

- NZ First 0
- Maori 4
- United Future 1

This is based on Maori Party winning four electorate seats and ACT, United Future and Progressive one each.
Coalition Options
- National 61 + ACT 2 = 63/122 – majority possible
- Labour 46 + Progressive 1 + Greens 7 + Maori 4 = 58/122 = no majority possible
The easiest option for both National and Labour to get a majority of at least 62 is shown. It is assumed ACT would only go with National and Progressive and NZ First only go with Labour. For National next options after ACT, in order of ease, are United Future, Maori Party, and Greens. For Labour next options after Progressive and NZ First in order of ease are Greens, Maori Party and United Future.
