An exclusive SBS opinion poll has found a large percentage of voters are uninspired by the leaders of all major parties, with half unable to identify a leader who can be "trusted to do what he says". More than half of those polled also didn't know which leader inspired them about the future.

 

The poll, commissioned by SBS and conducted by research group Essential Media, asked voters to choose which leaders certain indicators of leadership applied to.

 

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull outpolled Opposition Leader Bill Shorten in most questions, including when voters were asked to identify a leader they respect. Twenty-six per cent chose Mr Turnbull, compared with 16 per cent for Mr Shorten.
