National's change in leader has helped the party claw back some political points.
The latest 1News Colmar Brunton poll has revealed a boost for the party - but it's still not enough for them to win the September election.
The poll shows Labour on 50 percent - a nine point drop, and National winning 38 percent - a nine point increase.
Former National Health Minister Jonathan Coleman, and political commentator and former Green Party policy director Dave Cormack join Lisa Owen to discuss.
