The Fairfax Nielson Poll for 7 November 2008 puts National well into the lead with a similar margin to last months poll.
Today's Fairfax-Nielsen poll shows National has opened up an 18-point lead - 49 per cent support compared with Labour's 31 per cent - and a last-minute surge in support for ACT would put John Key in a position to pick his new Cabinet.
Labour leader Helen Clark has thumbed her nose at the poll findings - but two other polls last night also show National in a position to govern.
Miss Clark, who is hitting the shopping malls and factory floors in a frantic last-minute push to shore up the key South Auckland vote, issued yesterday her plea to voters: "I'm saying this is one for the true believers. If people want a Labour-led government, they'll get out and vote for it." more
