SUPPORT FOR TAOISEACH Simon Harris has risen 17% among his party members, according to a new poll. Meanwhile, the approval rating for leader Mary Lou McDonald among Sinn Féin has declined from 36% to 30%. The Irish Times/Ipsos poll shows that the Fine Gael party is now on 27%, up four percentage points since the last poll early in the summer.
Sinn Féin is on 20% (down three) and Fianna Fáil is on 19% (down one). Among the smaller parties the Green Party is at 5% (up one), Labour has 6% (up one) and the Social Democrats has 4% (up one). Support for both People Before Profit, which is on 2%, and Aontú, which is on 1%, remained unchanged.
Some 20% of voters are currently undecided about who they’d vote for if an election was called. The positive ratings for Harris and his party are likely to put more pressure on the Taoiseach to call an election..
