Labor will win Saturday's federal election with a predicted national swing of 2.4 per cent, an exit poll for Nine indicates.
The Galaxy poll found the swing would deliver Labor as many as 82 seats in the 151-seat parliament.
The Liberal-National coalition's primary vote sat at 39 per cent, just one point ahead of Labor, with the Greens polling 10 per cent and "other" at 10 per cent.
Labor deputy leader Tanya Plibersek said the party, which went into the election with 69 seats, had "high hopes" to pick up 12 seats it had been targeting.
"I feel positive. I feel like we are ahead but I am more cautiously optimistic than confident," she said.
Former Liberal deputy leader Julie Bishop said there was a "path to victory" for the coalition, and it would be a "night of surprises".
