The majority of voters believe the Liberal Party did the right thing by replacing Tony Abbott with Malcolm Turnbull, the latest Newspoll shows.
The poll taken for The Australian shows 57 per cent of voters continue to support September's switch to Mr Turnbull, while 31 per cent do not.
The survey of 1743 people taken from Thursday to Sunday shows 35 per cent of voters believe Mr Turnbull is the best choice for Liberal leader ahead of his deputy Julie Bishop on 22 per cent, Mr Abbott on 14 per cent and Treasurer Scott Morrison on eight per cent.
Among coalition voters, Mr Turnbull's support jumps to 48 per cent, more than double the 20 per cent backing for Mr Abbott, while Ms Bishop is third with 16 per cent and Mr Morrison is on eight per cent.
Among Labor voters, Ms Bishop is almost as popular as Mr Turnbull, who gets 30 per cent support to her 28 per cent.
A Newspoll published two days ago showed Labor leading the coalition by 51 per cent to 49 per cent after preferences, the first time the opposition has been ahead since the leadership change.
