Anthony Albanese's Labor Party is gaining back popularity from Pauline Hanson's One Nation as the dust settles from the contentious Federal Budget.
A Newspoll survey quizzed 1,235 voters across the country between Monday and Thursday last week for The Australian, as Labor made a series of concessions to the capital gains tax and negative gearing changes it previously announced.
The party's primary vote is now back ahead of One Nation, while Prime Minister Albanese's personal rating also recovered, with Hanson's dropping following her National Press Club 'monoculture' speech.
Labor's primary vote jumped from 30 per cent to 33 per cent while One Nation's fell from 31 per cent to 29 per cent.
The news was worse for the Coalition, which recorded a historic low primary vote of just 17 per cent.
The remaining voters were split among the Greens at 13 per cent and others at eight per cent.
The poor results continued for the Coalition with its leader, Angus Taylor, recording his lowest net approval rating since taking over the leadership position from Sussan Ley in February.
Just 31 per cent of voters were satisfied with Taylor's performance as Opposition leader while 51 per cent were unsatisfied.

One Nation's primary vote fell from 31 per cent to 29 per cent after Pauline Hanson (above) called for Australia to ditch multiculturalism in favour of a 'monoculture'
Albanese's personal net approval rating has lifted from a record low of -24 to -17 with 40 per cent of voters satisfied with his performance, while 57 per cent weren't.
Labor last week increased the capital gains tax exemption threshold for small businesses from $2million in turnover to $10million, along with a CGT exemption for testamentary trusts.
Hanson, meanwhile, had a busy week defending her National Press Club address in which she called for Australia to abandon multiculturalism in favour of a 'monoculture'.
The divisive speech slammed by Australian film icon Paul Hogan as outdated and unrealistic after Hanson used him as an example of the culture she envisioned.
The One Nation leader's net approval rating sat at -3 with 49 per cent of voters unsatisfied with her performance compared to 46 per cent of satisfied voters.
A special question asked in the survey attempted to find out why so many Aussies are choosing One Nation over the two major parties.
When asked what was the most important thing when deciding what party to vote for, 38 per cent of One Nation voters said 'they understand people like me'.
Another 42 per cent of One Nation voters said they preferred 'clear and realistic policies'.
That compares to 61 per cent of Labor voters and 63 per cent of Coalition voters who preferred better policies.

Angus Taylor's personal popularity has dipped to a new low after polling strongly when he first replaced former Liberal leader Sussan Ley but being unable to land any solid hits on rivals
Only 14 per cent of Labor voters and 13 per cent of Coalition supporters thought it was most important for their party to 'understand people like me'.
Albanese extended his lead over Taylor as preferred prime minister by 11 points but Taylor fell to third place when the question was opened to include Hanson.
Albanese was backed by 49 per cent of voters, followed by Hanson at 31 per cent and Taylor at 20 per cent.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers last week nodded to the criticism Labor faced following the broken election promises in the Federal Budget.
'When you're addressing this broken status quo - in our case in the housing market and in the tax system - it's hotly contested, it's contentious, it involves some level of political risk,' he said.
The bill introducing the changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing was passed last week.
