Opposition frontbencher Anthony Albanese insists Bill Shorten will lead Labor to the next federal election, despite his dwindling popularity in the polls.

Mr Albanese told the Nine Network on Friday that Mr Shorten's low rating in recent opinion polls was to be expected following the change of leadership in the federal government.

But he stopped short of ruling out any future attempts at the Labor leadership.
