The Green Party has had a surge in popularity - though it is too close to call who would form the next government, a poll has found.
The Greens rose five points to 14 per cent and National dropped three to 46 per cent, the One News Colmar Brunton poll released on Sunday found.
Translated to seats in parliament, assuming all current electorate seats are held, National would have 58, Peter Dunne one and Act one.
While Labour would have 42, the Greens 17 and Mana Party one.
Both coalitions would have 60 seats leaving the decision of who formed a government in the hands of the Maori Party with its 3 seats.
The poll has a margin of error of about 3 per cent.
