ACT says it isn't taking anything for granted, despite a staggering leap in a new political poll.

The Roy Morgan survey puts it up 4 points to 18 percent - their highest result since December 2021.

National is down 2.5 points to 31 percent, but can govern with ACT - while Labour has slumped to a historic low of 24 percent.

ACT leader David Seymour says Roy Morgan was the most accurate in the last election, but one of the least before that.

"But what we do know is that people do actually want some real change. They don't want to swap red for blue, Chris for Chris- and basically say business as usual, but show up in a blue tie."
