Just when things were looking up for Phil Goff and Labour, there was a bloody earthquake! An once again, Labour is polling as also-rans. The One News/Colmar Brunton poll has National enjoying 54% support, whilst Labour has slumped to 32%.
And the news keeps getting worse for Phil Goff. Despite John Key having taken Phil to Christchurch on one of his many post-quake visits there, Goff has slipped in the Preferred PM ratings to just 8% support. The only comfort for Goff is that One News no longer reports Helen Clark's PPM ratings!
It's now barely a year until the next election; possibly less if John Key decides to go to the country pre RWC 2011. We'd venture to suggest that Phil Goff's meter is about to expire. And the growing emergence of David Cunliffe on the TV circuit suggests that he might believe that it's now or never as well. Cunliffe was looking particularly self-satisfied last night.
Interesting times await us.

Going to the polls pre RWC makes sense - looks like Henry and co are about to repeat the mistakes of 2007 - so going sfter could be dodgy.
