The psychological impacts are becoming clear for our two main parties 32 days out from the election.  

The latest Newshub-Reid Research poll has Labour down 5.5% to 26.8%, while National has jumped 4.3% to 40.9%. 

ACT has fallen two points to 10%, but can comfortably govern with National.  

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Mike Hosking that it’s hard for Labour to get supporters out there knocking on doors when they're low. 

He says meanwhile for National, they've hit heights not seen for some time, which will rally and energise their base.
