New Zealand's ruling Labour Party has lost some support in the latest poll, but is still set to win a general election on Oct. 17, an opinion poll showed on Monday.

The closely watched 1News-Colmar Brunton poll showed support for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's party, which is seeking a second term in office, at 47%, down 1 percentage points since the last poll on Sept. 22. The opposition National party was at 33%, up two percentage points, after its newly elected leader Judith Collins was praised for her performance at a leaders debate last week.

Smaller parties continued to gain more support, the poll showed.
