The One News Colmar Brunton Poll has both Labour and National down one percentage point on their previous results, but with National still well ahead.

Labour's support fell to 29 percent, its lowest result in the poll in two years.

But it is better than a Stuff-Ipsos poll earlier this month, which had Labour at 23 percent.

The latest poll has National at 50 percent and the Green Party up one point at 12 percent.

No other party polled above 5 percent. The poll surveyed 1000 people and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.
