A week away from the federal election, the Roy Morgan Poll shows the coalition is increasing its lead and there has been rising support for the Greens and independents.

The poll was conducted after Wednesday night's third leaders' debate at the Rooty Hill RSL in Sydney's west.

It shows the ALP primary vote is 30.5 per cent (down 4 per cent since the last Morgan poll), behind the coalition which has a primary vote at 44 per cent (down one per cent). On a two-party preferred basis, the coalition was up 1.5 per cent at 53 per cent and Labor was down 1.5 per cent at 47 per cent.

Australian Greens support was 12 per cent (up one per cent) and support for Independents/Others was 13.5 per cent (up 4 per cent).
