Labour and National are regaining a little ground in the latest The Post/Freshwater Strategy poll, but both major parties remain well below 30 percent.

The poll has Labour up to 28.7 and National up to 27.6, the Greens are unchanged on 14.3, New Zealand First is down to 11.8, ACT is unchanged on 9, and Opportunity is down to 5.4.
