The chances of Chris Hipkins retaining his role as Prime Minister appears to be fading by the day. 

The latest One News-Verian result puts National on 36% while Labour sits at 26%.  

Earlier this week, the Herald's Poll of Polls showed Labour has a 0.2% chance of staying in government, the worst result for any main governing party since the Great Depression.  

Former National Party advisor and political commentator Brigitte Morton told Tim Dower that the chances Hipkins will continue as Prime Minister are getting down to zero.
