Christopher Luxon admits the Government has work to do following its latest slide in the polls. 

Both the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia poll and the 1News-Verian poll show the left bloc would have the seats to form a government. 

Chris Hipkins is also gaining ground on Luxon in the preferred prime minister rankings. 

The Prime Minister told Mike Hosking the results are a sign of how Kiwis are feeling. 

He says people are facing a tough economic time, and they want the Government to resolve that situation for them.  

Luxon's also rejecting Labour's calls for David Seymour to be removed from Cabinet. 

Chris Hipkins is calling for the Act Leader to be removed as a minister after he drove a car up the steps of Parliament at a fundraiser without the Speaker's approval. 

Seymour's also come under fire for writing to Police, advocating for Philip Polkinghorne, who went on to be charged, then found not guilty of his wife's murder. 

Luxon told Hosking he's responsible for all ministers in the Cabinet and their conduct, and he's very conscious of that. 

He says Seymour's letter to Police wasn't a breach of the Cabinet manual, as it happened before Seymour was a minister or in government.
