The results leave a gap of 15% between the two parties.

The Labor Party continues to see strong party support in the poll, its 47% result unwavering from last week. But he would still need the help of the Greens to rule based on these numbers.

National saw a slight drop, dropping 1% to 32%, meaning it would win 41 seats in Parliament to Labor’s 60.

ACT won 8%, giving it 11 seats if these poll results are repeated in the election results.

The Green Party continues to stagger near the threshold, falling from 1% to 6%, which would give the party eight seats.

ACT’s David Seymour is still at 2%, while NZ First leader Winston Peters remains at 1%.

14% of the respondents did not know who their preferred PM was and 3% refused to answer.

Despite National’s 32% result, Collins remained confident.

“I think we have a real opportunity,” he said.

“It’s still anyone’s career, the key is undecided voters.”

Ardern said that with the Labor result of 47%, she still wouldn’t be complacent.

“People are also looking for unity, particularly at times like this and I don’t think anyone wants to see distractions except a full focus on people’s recovery,” he said today from Dunedin.

On his 4% drop as PM of choice, Ardern said he tried not to notice those numbers.

He said he would “always keep an eye on him, but I’m certainly happy with those numbers.”

Collins told 1 NEWS that it was “really clear … we’ve had to deal with a bit this week, as well as (a) bit of distraction.”

A leaked email this week by MP Denise Lee was highly critical of Collins, with National using his followers to pose as members of the public during a walk through Auckland.
