National and Labour-Greens neck and neck in pollFAIRFAX NZThe Prime Minister has brushed off a new poll result that has his Government walking a tightrope with the Labour-Green bloc on the other side. The latest Newshub Reid Research Poll puts National on 45.1 per cent and a combined Labour-Greens on 44.2 per cent. The Newshub Poll saw National drop 1.9 percentage points on its last result, and Labour and the Greens jumped 1.4 and 0.4 respectively. Labour leader Andrew Little said that was at the crux of the poll result. If we could poll that number on election night 2017, we'd probably be the Government.
