Only one in four voters don't like a federal government plan that will prevent new parents double-dipping paid parental leave.

The weekly Essential Research online poll found 56 per cent approve the change that limits access to a taxpayer-funded scheme, while only 27 per cent were against.

The strongest support among the 1025 respondents came from coalition voters, men and those aged over 55.
