ONE NEWS: Prime Minister Helen Clark has dismissed the latest political poll showing Labour trailing National by 26 percentage points.
The One News Colmar Brunton poll shows National support increasing to 55%, compared with Labour's 29%.
It also shows National Party leader John Key still as preferred prime minister with an eight point lead over Clark and 6% would prefer to see Winston Peters as prime minister compared with 4% last month.
Helen Clark says the poll is out of line compared with other polls.
Last week's New Zealand Herald Digi-Poll put National slightly further in front of Labour with 51.5% of the party vote compared to Labour's 36.2%.
But the One News poll echoes results in a Fairfax opinion poll taken two weeks ago, which had National with a 27 point lead.
The May One News poll also shows two other smaller parties making a comeback. The Greens have bounced back up to 7% and New Zealand First is getting close to the magic 5% threshold.
A party needs 5% to be allocated a proportional share of seats in parliament.
