Welcome to The Progress Report 2.0 - a repository of tools and data for anyone interested in New Zealand politics.
The first version of The Progress Report was a blog I ran up until 2014, with excellent contributions from James Caygill, Keir Leslie and other guest posters. If you're interested in any of that content, it has been archived by the National Library.
Following the closure of The Progress Report I built a new site, polled.co.nz to host some of the caucus calculators and other tools I had been working on.
This version of The Progress Report has been rebuilt from the ground up and should hopefully be far more flexible and robust. If you find any bugs or issues, or have any ideas for new data or features, please get in touch.

I've just deployed a fix to a bug on both the Historical Polling Data and Historical Preferred Prime Minister Polling Data pages.
The graphs on both pages were not rendering correctly due to a library integration problem, causing data points to be spaced evenly rather than proportionally to their dates.
This issue has now been resolved, and the graph should accurately reflect the polling data over time.
If you spot any other issues, please get in contact!
