Prime Minister Kevin Rudd won't be told he can't win this federal election.
"I've been in a few tough spots before and I've managed to fight my way forward," he said on Saturday.
"I intend to fight my way forward again and part of the motivation for fighting my way forward is looking in the faces of you as good, honest, ordinary Australian families doing an honest day's work, producing the cars that Australians want to drive.
"That's why we're not going to be told we can't win this election."
hadow treasurer Joe Hockey brushed off suggestions the poll meant the coalition was now a shoo-in to form government after the September 7 election and refused to concede they favourite.
But he warned the government would now run "the most negative campaign seen in Australian politics".
"Kevin Rudd is going to get nasty. The Labor Party are going to get nasty. They are going to be nasty towards Tony Abbott, they are going to get nasty towards the coalition," he told reporters in Sydney.
