The latest political poll shows Labour is failing to gain traction with voters, and National will need New Zealand First if they are to govern.
The OneNews Verian poll released Wednesday night has Labour stalled at 26 percent. National remains steady on 36, but David Seymour's ACT party is down two to 10 per cent.
That means a National, ACT government would need Winston Peters' support. His party is steady on 6 per cent.
The poll also showed that for the first time, Christopher Luxon has inched ahead of Chris Hipkins as preferred Prime Minister with the National Party leader one percentage point ahead on 26 percent.
RNZ deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Corin Dann.
