The Government is facing the fight of its life, with the latest One News poll showing National and Act could form the next government by a comfortable margin.

National is polling at 37-percent, while ACT is on 13-percent - which would give them 65 seats, an easy majority.

Labour is languishing at 29-percent, with the Greens on 13-percent, and Te Pati Maori steady on three percent.

Chris Hipkins remains the country's most popular choice for Prime Minister, but by the slimmest of margins - 21-percent, compared with National leader, Christopher Luxon on 20-percent.

Hipkins spoke to Corin Dann.
