The resurrection of Kevin Rudd as Australia's Prime Minister has led to an immediate bounce in support for Labor, which has recorded a 6 per cent jump on a two-party preferred basis in the first poll conducted since the leadership showdown.

But the national poll of 3000 Australians, conducted on Thursday night, still has the Opposition leading the Government despite a marked swing in support for Labor following the dumping of Julia Gillard.

The Coalition leads Labor 52-48 per cent in the two-party preferred vote after preferences are distributed, according to the 7News ReachTEL national poll released on Friday morning.
