Malcolm Turnbull has admitted Labor could win a July 2 federal election.

With opinion polls showing voters evenly divided between the coalition and Labor, the prime minister conceded he might lose the nation's top job.

Mr Turnbull revealed he got on well with the opposition leader.

"I don't have scratchy relationship with him at all," he said.
