Labour is leading National by four points in tonight's 1News Colmar Brunton poll, but New Zealand First has taken a dip. The gap between the two big parties has stayed the same as last week's Colmar Brunton poll, with Labour up 1 point to 44 percent and National also up one to 40 percent.. The results are markedly different from Newshub's Reid Research poll on Tuesday this week, which had National ahead on 47.3 percent (up four points in ) and Labour on 37.8 percent (down 1.6) and the Greens out of Parliament altogether. In the first Colmar Brunton poll after Jacinda Ardern took over the Labour leadership, Labour had climbed to 37 percent against National's 44 percent. By the second poll, in late August, Labour was ahead of National by 43 percent to 41 percent.
