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.
