National party leader Christopher Luxon says the major factor in the party's revival is the cost of living, which he calls a "crisis".
Last night's Newshub Reid-Research poll had National on 40.5 percent, and Labour on 38.2.
It's the first time Labour's polled in the 30s since Jacinda Ardern became prime minister.
Luxon told Morning Report the cost of living is on everyone's mind.
Luxon is the preferred prime minister of 24 percent of those polled, the highest of any National Party Leader since Bill English.
