Newshub correspondent Patrick Gower has fallen foul of his Kiwi accent while in the US and covering the Super Tuesday elections.

​Newshub correspondent Patrick Gower's Kiwi accent has been causing confusion while reporting in the US.

Gower was covering the Super Tuesday elections for the New Zealand news outlet when he asked a Bernie Sanders supporter: "Hey man, can Bernie win or not?"

The man replied to Gower : "No espanol."

Gower then asked if the man could only speak Spanish - and was astounded by the US voter's response.

"No, I speak English, I'm sorry," he said.

To which Gower retorted" "I'm speaking English - I've just got a New Zealand accent."

Gower has been in Vermont watching the hopefuls battle it out.
