Working with Roy Morgan Research Scoop is using their famous video rating tool, the Reactor (the original Worm), which records how strongly you agree or disagree with what you are seeing and hearing, second by second, as you watch a video.
It will only take five minutes to participate and this initial poll is open for another 24 hours.

What Happens Next?
If you enjoy reacting and seeing the results in the media, you might like to react to the Highs & Lows each week between now and the election.

Why Scoop Is Doing This
Scoop hopes its use of the Reactor during the 2014 election will help us better understand how and why voters change their voting intentions during the intensive media melee which leads up to an election.
The Reactor is ground-breaking as it enables crowd-sourced reactions to provide a precise picture of how specific developments, political promises and news events affect the public mood The art of political punditry is to interpret these things based on hunches and experience, The Reactor provides us pundits with data and evidence to back up our views.
As a media outlet with a strong lineage in digital innovation around election reporting, Scoop is delighted that in this our sixth NZ election we can innovate further and deliver a clearer understanding of just how NZ's democracy is working on the inside.
Best wishes
Alastair Thompson
