New polling has put Labor in an election-winning position, halfway through the campaign.

The Resolve Political Monitor results shows Labor holding a clear lead of 54 to 46 per cent over the Coalition in two-party terms.

It comes the day after the ALP’s official campaign launch in Perth on Sunday, with leader Anthony Albanese spruiking a positive vision for the future under a Labor government.

However his sharpest lines were reserved for attacking Scott Morrison’s government, highlighting the fact Labor sees the government as its best political asset.

Today on Please Explain, chief reporter Chip Le Grand joins Bianca Hall to discuss Labor's campaign launch and what the polls are telling us.
