The Coalition is starting the sitting week on the upbeat after two polls revealed the Government is gaining ground on Labor in the two-party preferred vote.
The latest Newspoll in The Australian shows Labor leads the Coalition 53 per cent to 47 per cent on a two-party preferred basis, up from the Government's low of 44 per cent after August's leadership spill.
Scott Morrison is also the preferred prime minister over Labor's Bill Shorten, 45 per cent to 35.
The poll closely aligns to the Fairfax-Ipsos poll, which puts the Coalition on 45 per cent and Labor on 55 per cent in the two-party stakes.
