The Finance Minister has brushed off a tough new poll result for the coalition.

The latest 1News Verian poll shows a two percent fall for National to have them on 36 percent.

Act is down one to 7 percent and New Zealand First is on 4 percent.

Those numbers mean the left block of Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori could govern.

Minister Nicola Willis says she isn't losing her head over it.

"Oh well. We've had this conversation before - polls move up and down, and there is not an election tomorrow. So our job as a Government is to focus on getting on with business."
