Voters are warning the coalition government to steer clear of changes to universal health care or raising the retirement age.

More than half of voters are opposed to the introduction of a $6 co-payment to visit their GP, a Galaxy poll commissioned by News Corp Australia has found.

Even more were opposed to the idea of working longer into retirement, with 69 per cent warning the government against its plans to lift the age pension access age to 70 by 2035.

The coalition would lose an election if it were held today, the poll has also revealed.

Two party-preferred support for the coalition plunged 5.5 percentage points since the September election, News Corp published on Sunday.
