March Public Polls
April 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pm by David Farrar
The March 2009 public polls newsleter by Curia has just been published. As one can see not a lot of change. The newsletter is e-mail only, and you can subscribe to receive it at this webpage.
Also of interest to some people may be a recent poll of small and medium busineses by Curia for BDO Spicers and Ideas Shop. Curiablog has a summary of some results and links to the main reports. I found it interesting that recruiting and retaining staff was still cited as a major challenge for many SMEs (despite the recession) and also the number of firms that had flexible working practices such as being able to go from full-time to part-time, or work partly from home.

Any results on preferred PM?
Its been amazing the amount of people who have warmed to Key and are talking about him in glowing accounts. Even people who voted for the left.
Would never see Clark chasing sheep down the main street of Te Kuiti

Yes, those sheep. What a special and memorable event that was. It will be remembered forever by the woman who was knocked to the ground and over run by the mob. And ewe know who was there, waving his arms like the dweeby banker in the ad where he’s on the farm and asks ‘heard of cows?’ or something like that. Hang on!

I’m impressed with just how many places the PM turns up at.
I opened my CMaG*-ARAZPA** newsletter this morning, and there was a picture of John Key at the Otorohonga Kiwi House, opening the new falcon aviary.

We have a PM for once who can actually relate to people and the left like Village Idiot have to try and make this out to be a bad thing.
Glad I’m not living in your world.

Brian Edwards has ORDERED the media to cease their honeymoon with John Key forth with. It seems he too regards the election as some sort of terrible mistake and that one day the voters will wake up and restore the Labour Party to Government.

After seeing Clark in the media recently trying to re-write history – I’m not sure if an election loss is adequate punishment for someone with such powers of self-delusion.
I think John Key’s continued popularity & competence as Prime Minister is a far more effective penance.

NX, you are onto something here.
Did Key realise that losing one election was not enough punishment for Clark. Now what better additional punishment would it be to send someone to the UN in a position where they think they are real important (and tell them in Parliament that they will be) but know that it is a job from which you will come away from feeling personally (if not publicly) a failure. Yes, the UN is an ideal punishment. It is like sending someone to the naughty corner.
This sort of gets us back to the MacDoctor article and of course we now realise that Clark’s actions were not wrong just “miscommunicated” – sigh.
