National leader Judith Collins told Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB this morning that she didn t believe the numbers in the latest political poll. I am safe, she said.
Sunday night s Newshub-Reid Research shows a drop in popularity for Collins, following weeks of the party accusing the Government of a separatism by stealth agenda.
Consumer prices jumped at the fastest pace in more than a decade in April, surprising economists and intensifying a debate on Wall Street and in Washington over whether inflation might reach levels that would squeeze households and ultimately undermine the recovery.
Economists and central bank officials said the numbers reflected pandemic-driven trends that would most likely prove temporary. But investors and politicians are worried that prices will keep climbing potentially pressuring the Federal Reserve to lift interest rates sharply. That could slow economic growth and send stock prices plummeting. On Wednesday, stocks slumped more than 2 percent, their biggest decline since late February, after the government reported in the morning that the closely monitored Consumer Price Index climbed 4.2 percent in April from a year earlier, its fastest pace since 2008.
