The Finance Minister says the latest poll will be a tough read for the Labour Party and Chris Hipkins.

Labour saw a three percent drop in support to sit on 29, Chris Hipkins' preferred Prime Minister rating also fell by 1 percent. 

National also saw a drop in support, down 2 percent to sit on 34. 

Nicola Willis says even after complaining about their budget - Labour didn't see a jump in support. 

"Well, it gives me confidence that New Zealanders get where we are as a country - which is that we're a Government doing a big clean-up job. The books have been left in a mess."
