A snap NZ-Herald DigiPoll conducted over the weekend shows remarkably different results than all previous Herald DigiPolls, and for that matter all previous polls full stop.

In addition to a remarkable surge in the vote for the previously fairly invisible United Future NZ, up from 1.1% to 6.6%, Labour has fallen six points in less than a week, NZ First has surged forward to over 10% and the Greens.have dropped 4.5 points.

The snap poll surveyed 512 voters, compared to the usual Digipoll sample of closer to 900.
