Support for National has rocketed up to just over 40 percent, with a 4.3 point jump in the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll.
Labour has taken a devastating tumble, down 5.5 percent to 26.8 percent.
ACT has fallen two points to 10 - but can comfortably govern with National.
The Greens are up to 12.3 percent, Te Pāti Māori is on three, while New Zealand First flirts with the threshold at 4.6 percent.
National finance spokeswoman Nicola Willis says they aren't counting chickens yet- but it's positive.
"It's pretty clear New Zealanders want a change of Government, they can see the country's going in the wrong direction and more and more of them are getting ready to vote for change."
