Labour's political polling numbers have plummeted to a six-year low.
In the latest Newshub Reid Research poll Labour is sitting on 26.8 percent support - well below a resurgent National Party on 40.9 percent, ACT is on 10.1 percent - down on recent polling, but enough to give a National ACT Government 66 seats if the results hold on election day.
The Greens are on 12.3 percent, with New Zealand First close to the crucial the 5-percent threshold, at 4.6 percent.
Tuesday afternoon, Treasury will open the books for the Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update which is expected to show higher than expected debt as the economy slows, with tax receipts lower than expected in this year's Budget.
