Despite opinion polls suggesting he's a shoo-in for re-election on Saturday, NSW Premier Mike Baird says he's fearful of Labor sneaking back into power.
With less than 24 hours until polling booths open, Mr Baird held a symbolic press conference at the site of the North West Rail Link to highlight the infrastructure milestones achieved by the coalition government.
"It is the best way you can describe a difference between what we saw for 16 years (under Labor) and then what you saw under us," he told reporters in Cherrybrook on Friday.
Asked about the latest Galaxy poll, which shows his government will be comfortably returned, Mr Baird said he would fight for every vote until the polls close at 6pm on Saturday.
"We're still in the fight of our lives," he said.
"We're not going to take any vote for granted."
He urged voters not to back Labor for the good of the state.
"My biggest fear tomorrow is that Labor comes back into power, that they sneak back over the line and they put an absolute brake on the economy," the premier said.
"NSW comes to a shuddering halt: there are less jobs, there is less infrastructure, NSW goes backwards just at the time we've got NSW moving.
"Now is not the time to stop this."
Mr Baird will spend the remainder of the day visiting pre-polling booths across marginal Sydney seats.
