Labour's Associate Finance spokesperson is looking on the bright side of the latest poll.

The party has fallen a further 0.3 points to 26.5 and National's dropped 1.8 points to 39.1 percent.

NZ First is up 1.9 points to 5.2 percent, reaching the necessary threshold to enter Parliament.

David Parker says it appears the left has stabilised - while National and ACT have peaked early.

"I think it's the good economic news- not just unemployment being low, but those growth figures that came out recently were higher than people expected."
