OVER THE PAST week Fine Gael has gained the same amount of support that Sinn Féin has lost, according to the latest opinion poll.
The Red C tracking poll for the Sunday Business Post shows a two point rise in support for Fine Gael (31%) and a two point decline in support for Sinn Féin (17%).
Meanwhile, it shows that Labour, Fianna Fail and independents have remained unchanged.
It also puts Sinn Féin and Fianna Fail on equal support – both coming in at 17%.
Here’s the changes from last week’s poll:
The poll gives the coalition a reasonable chance of being re-elected, with combined support of 41%.
Taking a further look at independents and others, The Sunday Business Post reports that the Social Democrats are up by a point to 3% while the Anti Austerity Alliance/People Before Profit Alliance stayed at 3%.
The Green Party are down by a point to 2%, while Lucinda Creighton’s Renua remains at 1%.
The poll was carried out among over 1,000 adults across the country between Monday and Wednesday of last week.
