THE LATEST OPINION poll has brought some much needed relief for Fine Gael.
The party has stopped its slide in support and gained two points in the Red C poll set to be published in tomorrow’s Sunday Business Post.
This puts the party on 30%.
The big losers in the latest figures are Sinn Féin.
Coming off the back of a difficult week in which one of its TDs has quit the party, it has dropped four points down to 16%.
These figure are in comparison to a poll published in the same newspaper last Sunday.
Labour and Fianna Fáil have seen their share of the vote remain steady on 8% and 18% respectively.
The independents have seen a two point increase in their support.
When taken against a Red C poll conducted mid-week by the Irish Sun, the gains for the main government party are more dramatic.
This comparison shows a four point increase for Fine Gael, a one point decrease for Sinn Féin, a decrease of 1 point for Labour and a one point decrease for Fianna Fail.
Other polls will be published later this evening, including a Behaviour & Attitudes poll that is expected to put support for the Labour party at just 4%.
