Whakaata MДЃori poll: Labour leads party vote as Te PДЃti MДЃori dominates MДЃori roll

The useful part

The poll surveyed 1,000 MДЃori voters on both the general and MДЃori rolls, including 500 by phone and 500 through an online panel. The most popular parties for MДЃori voters were Labour on 31%, Te PДЃti MДЃori on 18%, the Greens on 17%, NZ First on 8%, National on 6% and Opportunity on 4%.
