The Morning Lead

Simon Harris's leadership makes 15% of voters less likely to vote for Fine Gael - poll

The results do not bode well for Taoiseach Simon Harris in his first week in office.

The biggest loss of support was visible among the 18-34-year-old age group.

Today's The Journal/Ireland Thinks poll also took a look at the popularity of the parties and asked voters which election is more important to them - the EU elections or the local elections.

This latest poll also shows a slide in support for Sinn Féin, with the party down to 23% from 26% in February.
