A majority of voters disagree with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's view that "there has never been a more exciting time to be an Australian", a new poll has found.

Asked their views of election slogans, 53 per cent said they disagreed or strongly disagreed with Mr Turnbull's oft repeated statement. A further 31 per cent said they agreed or strongly agreed, while 16 per cent didn't know.

The Australian-Insitute commissioned poll of 1437 people found the Coalition and Labor were near even on who was best placed to deliver "jobs and growth", at 33 per cent to 31 per cent.
