This time Ireland! Its an interesting one too.
The Party Breakdown is as follows
Fianna Fail 36% (down 4)
Fine Gael 28% (up 3)
Labour 9% (down 1)
Sinn Fein 9% (down 1)
Greens 7% (no change)
PD’s 3% (up 1)
(June poll available here in PDF)
In another question in the poll 50% of people are not confident that the government can get the economy out of the current downturn.
Its nice to see FG up and FF down below the 40% (the polled 42% at the last General Election), also these polls are leading us into the local and european elections next year.
The PD’s being up is a bit strange considering while the poll was being carried out, the leadership decided they were not politically viable. Then again the fact the PD’s were in the media a lot over the grealish debacle raised their profile. But where will that 3% go is the question on everyone’s lips?
