ONE NEWS: Labour has gained support in the latest ONE News Colmar Brunton opinion poll and closed the gap on National, but it still has a long way to go to have a real chance of retaining power on November 8.
The poll released on Sunday shows National down one point to 50% support and Labour up three points to 36%.
The gap was 14 points compared with 18 a week ago.
On 50% support, National would have 61 seats in parliament and Labour 44.
There is little change in support for the minor parties, although the Greens are down slightly and will gain seven seats instead of the 10 they would have had a week ago.
Sunday's survey indicates Labour's strong start in the campaign and its policy announcements, including the universal student allowance, are having an impact.
National did not start so strongly, although party leader John Key got his campaign back on track with a good performance in the first leaders debate.
