SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull failed to win a boost in support despite delivering a conservative and well-received budget last week, which included a popular tax on Australia's biggest banks, opinion polls showed on Monday.

Turnbull remains in a precarious position, with Newspoll and Fairfax-Ipsos polls published on Monday showing he would still lose an election against the main centre-left Labour opposition.
