Championing Value For Money From Every Tax Dollar

Metro Mayors' Performance

   NZTU Media

The results below are based on responses to our monthly polls from January to November 2023 and February 2024 to February 2025. As part of the Taxpayers' Union-Curia poll, each month our pollsters ask participants "How do you rate the job your local Mayor has done since the last election? Has it been very poor, poor, average, good or very good?". Because the sample sizes for the Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington mayors are larger, trends were able to be deduced over time, demonstrated below.
