Over two-thirds of Coalition voters back Malcolm Turnbull as the better leader of the Liberal Party compared to Tony Abbott, according to the latest Sky News/ReachTEL polling.
Conducted exclusively for Sky News, the poll shows 72.8 per cent of Coalition voters back Mr Turnbull's leadership.
The prime minister is preferred to his predecessor among all demographics, except supporters of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party.
Over three-quarters (76.6%) of One Nation voters list Tony Abbott as the 'better leader' of the Liberal Party.
The polling comes after a week of infighting within the party, with Mr Abbott repeatedly criticising the direction of the Turnbull government.
On two-party preferred terms, the Coalition continues to trail Labor 48 per cent to 52 per cent, a point better than the last Sky News/ReachTEL poll of 47-53 after the budget.
The Coalition has a primary vote of 33.9%; Labor 33.1%; The Greens 9.6%; One Nation 9.1%; Others 7.2% and 7.1% of voters are undecided.
Malcolm Turnbull continues to lead Bill Shorten as preferred prime minister, 54.1 per cent to 45.9 per cent.
The Sky News/ReachTEL polling shows only a quarter of voters believe Malcolm Turnbull has performed well as prime minister.
Just under 27 per cent of voters rate Mr Turnbull's performance as 'good' or 'very good'; 35.4 per cent of voters rate it as 'average' while 36.5 per cent rate his performance as 'poor' or 'very poor'.
The polling conducted on Thursday afternoon across Australia also asked about voters for their policy preferences.
On same-sex marriage, 62.4 per cent of those surveyed support same-sex marriage; 25.9 per cent oppose its legalisation, while 11.7 per cent remain undecided.
Almost 60 per cent of voters would prefer same-sex marriage to be decided through a plebiscite compared with a vote in parliament.
Support for a plebiscite among Coalition voters stands at 66.3 per cent while among Labor voters it stands at 47 per cent.

Abbott is unwanted by a great majority of Australians. IMO one of the failings
of Turnbull is to put paid to Abbott’s undermining. Thats probably what Sheridan means when
he refers to the coalition dying on its knees.

Mind you, given that recent events seemed to indicate that Abbott could be trying for a comeback,
it may well work in Turnbull’s favour, as any hint that the Liberals might entertain such a thought
will have voters strongly supporting Turnbull in the polls to show the bedwetters the folly of considering
a return of Abbott.
