Anyone who's already calling the election for the NatACTs is pushing propaganda, whether they mean to or not. For one thing, the polls are swinging as wildly as a compass needle in the Bermuda Triangle.
In step with this, NewsHub nation mentioned that according a "NZ election study, 30-40% of people haven't made their mind up". Quoted last week on MediaWatch:

The polls haven't been good news for Labour *or* National, as standalone parties. As #TobyManhire pointed out last month;
"the average across the latest polls from five companies put the Labour/National aggregate at 66.2%. And it is not just the lowest of the last dozen years. Not since the end of 2002 have the big two polled beneath a combined 70%. That followed a record low 20.9% election result for National, with Labour winning 41.26%."
