There's claims a rebounding economy could propel National to another election win.
But a former senior National staffer also says next year's election is looking like a toss-up.

Ben Thomas says that's not a good place to be.
"That is a psychological threshold - we used to be thinking that anything in the middle-low 30s was a disaster for a National Party leader."
