You'd think there would be one out next week. We only seem to be getting leaked internal polling at the moment which are about as reliable as a sundial at midnight.
It's not a cheap exercise to do a halfway decent political poll especially if you're trying to get a good spread of responders (young people don't tend to have landlines these days). TV3/Newshub aren't exactly flush with cash these days so they've got to be a bit economical when it comes to commissioning polls.
If they wanted to save money, I'd hazard a guess that the gap between Labour and National has closed - it always does. Greens will be just above 5%. ACT doing well enough for Seymour to bring a bunch in with him - possibly not as well as they could be doing if National has stolen back some of their voters. NZ First wobbling around under 5%, once again relying on an election day miracle. Ardern will be streets ahead on preferred PM, which is always the dumbest thing to ask because inevitably the preferred PM is the one who is the PM.
