National leader Judith Collins was on a mission to put the bruising Newshub Reid Research poll behind her today.
She was in campaign mode in Palmerston North - speaking to the public, and re-announcing National's plans to fast-track a rural ring road.
Ms Collins has dismissed the poll - which saw her party on a dismal 25 percent - as rogue - and out of step with what she's hearing from voters on the ground.
Political reporter Yvette McCullough filed this report from Palmerston North.
