A Horizon Research poll shows which Kiwis are feeling positive or negative about the effect the Labour-led Government will have on them.

Blue collar workers, labourers and social servants are among the Kiwis who are most confident the new Government will be good for them.

Meanwhile, those on high incomes and the elderly are more likely to feel negative about it.

Seventy-seven per cent of labourers, agricultural and domestic workers feel the coalition will affect them positively.

The poll was conducted between October 24 and November 1 - fresh after the new Government was formed.

They're joined by 76 per cent of teachers, nurses, police and other trained services workers. On the other hand, 57 per cent of business managers and executives are negative about the Labour - New Zealand First - Greens Government. Thirty per cent were positive.

The poll was conducted between October 24 and November 1 - fresh after the new Government was formed.

Other factors that affected feelings about the new Government included income, age and households.

The older people were, the more negative they were, the poll's trend showed. And the more people earned, the more negative they got.

HORIZON RESEARCH Twice the number of people were positive than negative when it came to considering the effect of a Labour-led government.

Seventy-six per cent of those earning over $200,000 felt the Government would be bad for them, as did 68 per cent of those earning between $100,000 and $150,000.

53 per cent of people earning less than $20,000 a year thought it'd be good for them.

Among households, extended families living together and flatters were the most positive - 75 per cent and 74 per cent, respectively.

Generally, families were positive, too.

Sixty-eight per cent of one-parent families with one or two children at home and 62 per cent of two-parent families with three or more children at home felt positive.

In contrast, only 33 per cent of people living alone were positive. Twenty-six per cent were negative.

The poll sampled 1068 adults nationwide representing the New Zealand adult population at the last census, according to Horizon Research. It was weighted by age, gender, ethnicity, personal income, region and party voted for in 2017, at a 95 per cent confidence level. The maximum margin of error was +/- 3%.
