New Zealand Premier Luxon Rules Out Resignation After Poll Shock

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Friday moved to quell speculation he’ll resign after a national poll showed sinking public support for his National Party, which he said still stood firmly behind him.

National dropped 2.9 percentage points to 28.4%, while the main opposition Labour Party rose 0.3 to 34.4%, according to the Curia Market Research poll for the NZ Taxpayers’ Union published Friday in Wellington.
