VOTERS have backed the Coalition over the national disability insurance scheme, despite supporting Labor's decision to impose a levy to pay for the policy.

A Seven News/ReachTEL poll found Opposition Leader Tony Abbott was viewed by a considerable margin as the most trusted person to deliver the scheme - the preferred choice of 57 per cent of those polled. Only 42 per cent opted for Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

The policy was also found not to be a vote winner for Labor, with 41 per cent saying they were now less likely to vote ALP compared to 26 per cent who said it made them more likely to vote for the government.
