Falls for the Greens and Te Pati Maori in the latest 1 News Verian Poll - which gives the coalition more than enough seats to govern.

National is on 36 percent, up two - while Act is also up two to 10 percent, and New Zealand First steady on nine.

In the left bloc, Labour was up three to 35, but the Greens dropped four to seven, and Te Pati Maori - after weeks of infighting - fell two points to one percent.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Ryan Bridge they're focused on doing things to make sure people are better off, can get ahead, and have strong public services.

She says it's positive to see that most people, if given the chance to vote tomorrow - would re-elect the current Government.
