National's Nicola Willis is satisfied with her party pulling ahead of the competition in another poll.

The latest One News-Verian poll puts the National Party on 37 percent - down 2 points - and Labour on 27, down one.

NZ First has crossed the 5 percent threshold again- meaning the party could join National and ACT in Parliament.

Nicola Willis says this poll shows voters are in the mood for change, which she believes a vote for National could fix.

"A vote for any other party risks 3 more years of Labour, beholden to Te Pāti Māori and the Greens. That would be a coalition of chaos."
