National has dropped below 25 percent in the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll, and it's sparked concerns among the party. 

Leader Chris Luxon broke his own rule and warned voters to not let this poll become a reality - and urged National faithful to get out and vote. 

The party's campaign chair, Simeon Brown, says this result indicates the election will be a close one.

"It's a very stark reminder to voters - if they want to avoid a Labour-Greens coalition with Chlöe Swarbrick as the finance minister, they need to get out there and vote."
