NSW Premier Mike Baird remains the nation's most popular politician and his Coalition government is increasing its lead over Labor, the latest Newspoll shows.

Mr Baird's satisfaction rating has hit 63 per cent, his highest since becoming premier in April last year, according to the poll conducted for The Australian.

His Coalition's primary vote has lifted to 47 per cent, from 45.6 per cent at the March election, while Labor's has fallen to 33 per cent, down from 34.1 per cent.

The Coalition leads Labor 56 per cent to 44 per cent on two-party-preferred terms, a small swing towards the government since the last election.

Opposition Leader Luke Foley's satisfaction rating has dropped to 35 per cent.
