Description: All the political leaders are out for the duck-shooting season at 'Political poll swamp'. Prime Minister, John Key holds what looks like a shag, Labour leader, Phil Goff, has a plucked chicken, new ACT leader, Ron Brash catches feathers and they all laugh as an egg representing the 'margin of error' breaks over the head of Pita Sharples, the co-leader of the Maori Party. The little Evans man asks 'Why didn't you duck?' Context - A new poll released on Sunday suggests support for the ACT party has jumped since Don Brash became leader after the ACT coup, and also shows the new Mana party making an impact. According to the Horizon Research poll, support for ACT rose to 5.3% this week - up from 3.7% in April - following the change of leadership from Rodney Hide to Dr Brash. Support for Mana, which has yet to be officially registered, is at 2.3%, ahead of the Maori Party's 2.1%. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
