The Finance Minister says the latest One-News Verian poll shows the fight is on. 

Chris Luxon's popularity has dropped to a two-year low, while National sit steady on 34 percent and Labour shoots up four to 33 percent. 

Today's earlier Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll predicted a hung Parliament.

Nicola Willis says it comes down to who people trust to steer the economy. 

"The reality is, the economy is still recovering. And that means that we're not seeing instant overnight success - we never claimed that we would - but we are doing the right thing."
