The National Party remains the most preferred party in the latest One News Kantar public poll but Labour has taken a nibble out of their advantage.
The poll figures show National remains unchanged on 37 percent support while Labour is up one, to 34 percent.
There's also little change among the support parties, with ACT and the Greens both at 9 percent.
Under the TVNZ-commissioned poll figures, National and ACT could form a government, sharing 61 of the 120 seats in the house.
For analysis, University of Auckland senior political lecturer Dr Lara Greaves, and also by Brigitte Morten - a director with law firm Franks & Ogilvie and a former senior ministerial advisor for the previous National-led government, spoke to Corin Dann.
