Today Show host Deborah Knight has taken a swipe at Labor leader Bill Shorten and and described him as less popular than former prime minister Bob Hawke.

The morning show host asked Mr Shorten why he continued to struggle to draw in the favour of voters on Friday morning. 

'Hawke was immensely popular – people loved him even if they didn't like his policies. Why are you still struggling to get voters to like you?' she asked.

Mr Shorten responded, 'I think you found and over the election campaign that as people get to see our policies and as we get to meet people, we have been doing better and better. I felt that the momentum has been with us in the last two weeks.
