Next Episode: Labour sees last-minute lift in polls
The race to form the next government is shaping up to be a tighter competition than it previously seemed, with just three days left to vote.
Two polls released Wednesday night say neither Labour nor National could govern without New Zealand First.
The One News Verian poll puts National up 1 point, while Labour gained 2 points.
ACT is down one point, the Greens are up one, and New Zealand First is steady.
Meanwhile, the Newshub Reid Research poll shows support for National plummeting 4.6 percentage points, while Labour and the Greens rose, ACT steady and New Zealand First rising.
National Party campaign chair Chris Bishop spoke to Corin Dann.
