Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has played down a new opinion poll showing the coalition could win an election in a landslide if Malcolm Turnbull was leading the Liberal Party.
A ReachTel poll for the Seven Network on Friday shows the coalition leading Labor 58-42 per cent, on a two party preferred basis, with Mr Turnbull at the helm.
With Mr Abbott in charge, the coalition leads 51-49 per cent.
Mr Turnbull leads Kevin Rudd as preferred prime minister 65-35 per cent, against the Labor leader's 52-48 per cent advantage over Mr Abbott.
The opposition leader dismissed the polling, talking up his strong team and how the Liberal movement was a "broad church and a big tent".
"We can run a political party that has got room for more than just one big figure," Mr Abbott told reporters in Bundaberg.
"As we've seen from the Labor Party they just can't do that."
