"See some sense and just drop it - it is not a fair policy to introduce," King told Newshub.

Business New Zealand commissioned the poll to break down the CGT and see what, if anything, New Zealanders might support.

"As we got more deeply into the different types of assets New Zealanders own, they push back pretty hard," chief executive Kirk Hope told Newshub:

On taxing property profits, half of voters pushed back. The poll found 49.8 percent don't think there should be a CGT on property - the family home would be exempt.

And that's versus just 39.1 percent that support it.

In her post-Cabinet press conference on Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the Government is "using this time to hear the public's feedback".

But the feedback seems clear.

"Well, clearly the capital gains tax shouldn't be a priority for the Government," Hope said.

When it comes to KiwiSaver, voters say hands off. The poll found that 90 percent do not think there should be a CGT on KiwiSaver earnings. That leaves just 4.4 percent - next to no one - that support the idea.
