The Daily PollTHE CAMPAIGNS OF the seven men and women who are hoping to be the next President of Ireland continue with the election now in full swing.
The latest Ipsos/MRBI and Red C opinion polls show Labour’s Michael D Higgins remaining out in front with 23 per cent and 25 per cent respectively, while both polls registered a drop in support for Senator David Norris.
Meanwhile Sinn Féin-nominated Martin McGuinness polled third in both. The polls also suggested that independent candidate Seán Gallagher has gained ground, with the Ipsos/MRBI poll placing him second behind Higgins and ahead of McGuinness.
The Red C poll showed drops in support for each of Gay Mitchell, Dana and Mary Davis. The slightly earlier Ipsos/MRBI poll showed Mary Davis as unchanged at 12 per cent of support, while Mitchell fell from 12 to 9 per cent and Dana came seventh on 6 per cent.
With just 16 days left until polling on 27 October, we’re asking which of the candidates would have your vote, if you were to vote today?
