Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten will campaign in Sydney on Monday, as the latest Newspoll shows Labor remains poised to win the federal election next weekend.


Labor remains in the box seat to win the federal election in five days' time, with Bill Shorten receiving a boost to his personal rating.

The latest Newspoll shows the campaign race remains tight, with the coalition lifting its primary vote to 39 per cent.

But Labor still leads by 51 to 49 per cent on a two-party preferred basis, with its primary vote also up slightly to 37 per cent.
