LATEST poll figures showing NSW Labor still well behind the coalition highlight the big job ahead for Labor to re-engage with voters, Opposition Leader John Robertson says.

The poll published in The Australian on Monday found NSW Labor recorded a primary vote of 28 per cent in March, up one point from the previous poll.

The coalition, by contrast, polled two points better than the last poll with 48 per cent of the primary vote.

The Liberal-National coalition holds a big 61 to 39 per cent lead over Labor on a two-party preferred basis, the poll found.

Support for Mr Robertson was steady at 28 per cent compared to a satisfaction rating for Premier Barry O'Farrell 44 per cent.

The poor Labor result comes as NSW's corruption watchdog continues inquiries into the granting of mining licences by former Labor mining minister Ian Macdonald, and whether former minister Eddie Obeid benefited.

Asked about the poll on Monday, Mr Robertson said it highlighted that Labor still had a lot of work to do to re-engage the community.

"I'm under no illusions about how tough the job is that we have at hand," he told reporters in Sydney.

"I'm focused on getting out there and talking to people in the community and holding this government to account.

"I'm serious about introducing reforms in the party to make sure that we don't have any more rogue elements in the party representing the NSW Labor Party in the future."
