National, ACT and New Zealand First have moved closer to securing a coalition for a second term in power without needing Opportunity's help.

In the latest 1News-Verian poll, National has dropped three points to 29, while Labour remains steady on 27.

ACT's up one point to 12, while New Zealand First climbed two to 10.

With voting starting up this week, National's Nicola Willis says these results are still too close to call. 

"I'd like to see our party vote higher - as you can see, it is very, very close. The polls have been bouncing around a bit."
