Questions over divisions within New Zealand.
An Essential Research poll shows 77 percent of Kiwis believe the country is either a little more - or much more - divided, depending on their political stance.
Labour and Green voters think there's less division, and National and ACT supporters say we are more so.
Those aged 55-plus are the most concerned.
Victoria University's Max Rashbrooke says he's unsure he agrees.
He says the poll doesn't clarify what people mean by division.
"But particularly with older people- they may just be expressing concern about the pace of change, about social change, about things they find destabilising."
