Description: Text reads 'National opens up a 30 point lead'; below is a poll showing 'Labour' with a cross and 'National' with tick and below again the words 'POLLitical correctness' (wordplay on 'poll' and 'political') Context - The National Party has opened up a 30 point lead over the Labour Party in the latest TV3 poll released on Sunday.
