Satisfaction with the prime minister and the opposition leader has slumped, according to a Newspoll that puts support for Labor and the coalition on a level pegging.

The survey conducted for The Australian and published on Monday registered disapproval for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese up four points to 54 per cent while his approval rating fell two points to 41 per cent -  an overall reading of minus 13 that is the lowest for the Labor leader since 2022 election.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's support dwindled as well in the poll, also ending with a minus 13 net satisfaction rating.

The survey had Labor and the coalition tied on 50 per cent each on a two-party-preferred basis - the same result as the prior Newspoll three weeks ago.

On primary votes, the survey said the coalition is down one point to 38 per cent while Labor was unchanged on 32 per cent and the Greens also level on 12 per cent.

Support for other minor parties and independents remained steady on 11 per cent while backing for One Nation rose one point to seven per cent.

The survey of 1263 voters was conducted online between August 26 and 30.
