Goff struggling to attract the numbers

Labour List MP has been tweeting excitedly about the crowd who attended a today with Hon Phil Goff:

Before getting too excited, Sue should really ask around to see how many people turned up to last week's public meeting with Hon John .  Even going by the numbers there were twice as many people who turned out on a stormy night for a Q and A session with the PM.  Actual numbers attending the PM's public meeting were more than 300.
Surely today was the best timing  for Hon Phil Goff.  He is at his peak.
  • It is the day after his and Labour's big tax package announcement
  • It is a beautiful sunny day in
But Phil and his local List MP could only attract 100 people.  It's a hard road to the election for Goff.
