A new poll shows both Labour and National are losing their shine with small businesses

But MYOB's small business poll shows a massive leap in support for Act - from four percent this time last year, to 23 per cent now

National remains the party most small businesses think has the greatest understanding of business, but it's dropped from 46 percent to 37.

Labour too is down ... .from 33 percent 12 months ago... to 30 percent.

Meanwhile... almost half of small businesses surveyed, are dissatisfied with the Government's performance.
