Labour is on 44.3 percent, up 1.6 percentage points and National on 31.3 percent, up 4.4 percentage points.
ACT is down eight percentage points on eight percent, which is half what it was on in the last Newshub-Reid poll.
The Greens have overtaken ACT and are on 9.6 percent, up 2.4 points, making them once again the third highest-ranked party in Parliament.
At 44.3 percent, Labour would have 56 seats, which means they would need the Greens to govern.
The Māori Party is on 2 percent, New Zealand First on 1.8 percent, TOP on 1.5 percent and Conservative Party on 1.1 percent.
As preferred Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is still significantly ahead on 43.3 percent, up 1.6 percentage points.
However, Christopher Luxon has jumped 15.3 percentage points since becoming National's leader and is on 17.8 percent.
