Anthony Albanese has shrugged off polling showing more voters want Pauline Hanson to run the country than him.
Thirty-three per cent of respondents to a reputable poll picked the One Nation leader as preferred prime minister, compared to 29 per cent for Mr Albanese.
Liberal leader Angus Taylor was favoured by 16 per cent and another 22 per cent were undecided.
The Resolve Political Monitor survey, conducted for the Nine newspapers, was the first by the polling outfit to give respondents a choice of three options for preferred prime minister.
Mr Albanese acknowledged people were under pressure from the cost of living but suggested the shine might come off One Nation by the next election.
"It's easy to identify grievance," he told reporters in the Canberra suburb of Jacka on Monday.
