Dissatisfaction with Opposition Leader Tony Abbott hit a record high as Federal Labor's primary vote staged a comeback in the latest opinion poll.

The Newspoll published in The Australian newspaper shows Labor's primary vote is up three points to 32 per cent and has now climbed seven points from its record low of 26 per cent seven weeks ago.

The Coalition's primary vote is down one point to 44 per cent, with the Greens down three points to 12 per cent.

On a two-party preferred basis, the Coalition lost one point, but is still ahead of Labor 53 to 47 per cent.
