National and Act could form a government on the latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll.
Labour and the Greens have closed the gap with the political right, but only just.
National was on 38 per cent, down one point on last month’s poll, while Act was on 10 per cent, up one point.
The result would give the right 62 seats, enough to form a government.
Labour was on 35 per cent, up one point, while the Greens were on 8 per cent, up one point. This would give those parties 56 seats.
Te Pati Māori was steady on 2 per cent and NZ First continues a string of good polls, hitting 4 per cent, up two points.
It has been a busy week for polling with Sunday night seeing the release of a Newshub-Reid Research Poll showing Labour on just 32.3 and National on 40.7.

Act leader David Seymour polled 6 per cent, down one point.
