TONY Abbott's Government has enjoyed a bump in the opinion polls, while Bill Shorten has crashed to his lowest ever personal approval rating.

Newspoll taken for The Australian shows the Coalition's primary vote rose three points in the past fortnight to 38 per cent, while Labor's fell three points, also sitting at 38 per cent.

On a two-party preferred basis, Labor still leads but the Coalition has closed the gap.

CREDLIN UNION POSES 'CONFLICT OF INTEREST'

Two weeks ago the Coalition trailed 43-57; today's Newspoll show a tightening to 47-53 per cent.

The percentage of people who were satisfied with Mr Abbott's performance as prime minister rose slightly to 25 per cent, while his high dissatisfaction rating was unchanged at 68 per cent.

But Mr Shorten took a big personal hit, with the percentage of people satisfied with the way he was doing his job as Opposition Leader falling to a record low of 35 per cent, down from 42 per cent.

Those dissatisfied rose to 49 per cent.

The poll was taken over the weekend, when Mr Abbott was in the news talking about his response to terrorists.

It comes two weeks after a vote in the partyroom to spill Mr Abbott's leadership was defeated 39-61.
