New poll sees Fine Gael on course to be largest party, but support for independents jumps

Cost-of-living was found to be the main issue on voters’ minds.

FINE GAEL IS on course to be the largest party in the next Dáil, according to a new poll, with independents seeing a rise in their support.

The latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll has suggested that Simon Harris’s party is on 25 percent, ahead of Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin who are both on 19 percent.

Fine Gael has lost support by two percentage points and Sinn Féin is down by one. Fianna Fáil is unchanged.

But the main shift in the poll came in support for independent candidates, up by four points to 20 percent. The Irish Times said the poll included Independent Ireland – the political party formed last year by TDs Michael Collins and Richard O’Donoghue – as part of this grouping.

Among the smaller parties, the Green Party has fallen by two percent to stand at three points. Labour is at five percent (down one), the Social Democrats four percent (no change), People Before Profit-Solidarity two percent (no change) and Aontú three percent (up two).

Meanwhile, half of voters (50 per cent) told pollsters that they believe the country is generally going in the wrong direction, but there was an increase in the proportion of voters saying that the country is generally going in the right direction. That last figure was up by five percentage points to 42 per cent.

The margin of error for the poll is estimated at plus or minus 2.8 per cent. A total of 1,200 people were interviewed face-to-face for the poll according to the newspaper.

    If it’s true, I’m leaving, might as well give this country over to the emigrants that are coming in. They’ve no money when they come here but soon they’ll have a key to a house, probably free electricity and an E-scooter .

    This is just sad and depressing and I only vote for independents

I’ve saved lots and lots of money and still I’m told because I suffered from serious ill health recently that is classified as a break in my income. Why, am I being treated differently because of what I went through.

    People are allowed to moan about the state of the government immigration policy without being called racist as they are in this thread. That’s not fair. Obviously there’s a hyperbolic nature on both sides of any debate but the OP didn’t disparage anyone based on their race so implying they’re racist because they are having a go at our clearly dysfunctional government immigration/integration policy is missing the point imo

    @Darth O’Leary: It is not the moaning about the government that is being called out as racist, it is the unchecked lies that is repeated. It is possible that the person who believes the lie is not purely racist, but they are allowing themselves to consume racist rhetoric. As soon as they type it here, they cross the line into racism. It is how the KKK and Nazi Germany developed their popularity. Spreading racist lies amoungst a fearful and down trodden population until they can say what they control the “truth”. The difference now is social media gives this new wave of facism a platform never enjoyed before. The world may not be able to beat these guys with peaceful protest or even a world war.

    FG are EU boot lickers. We don’t have sovereignty while we are in the EU. Hungary governed their immigration policies on the wishes of their own population, and foreigners in the EU are able to tell them that it’s ‘wrong’. They then get fined 100s of millions for governing their SOVEREIGN country how the people of that nation voted for it to be governed. Does that sound like sovereignty to you, that foreigners, i.e a French, a Swede, A Spanish, a German etc. can tell a sovereign nation like Hungary how their immigration policies should be? If you don’t agree you get fined into absolute oblivion. What a great organisation the EU is. It’s blatantly clear that YOU CANNOT VOTE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS. No wonder extremist views are getting more popular. EU is a dictating immigration laws.

We have lived here for a thousand + years, never once did we say let’s make Irish a minority in their own capital city. What are we? London? It’s an idea adapted after WW2 after what the Germans did. The world leaders think that a homogeneous European country is a threat, so they have made every western nation a melting pot of random cultures, values, beliefs, ethnic groups etc. The sense of community in these cities or large towns is gone. People have next door neighbours they never speak to. The whole west has gone to the dogs. Countries trying to maintain their homogeneity like Hungary are fined.

    FG voters are much more likely to engage in these kind of polls than SF voters. This election will be close. Get out and vote and do yourself and your kids a favour and get FF/FG out.

    @Anthony Curran:
    Sorry Anthony but that sounds like desperation. The general election polls over the years have been largely accurate here in Ireland. In 2020 as the campaign went on the charted the rise of SF. That doesn’t mean things couldn’t change during this campaign too, but at this point in time they are probably reasonably accurate.

    Completely wrong.
    It took me about 20 seconds on Google to find details of the last three opinion polls for the 2020 election.
    31/1/20 SF 24 FF 24 FG 21
    1/2/20 SF 25 FF 23 FG 20
    2/2/20. SF 25 FF 22 FG 20
    In actual fact the last two were less than 1% off with all three parties but polls 2 weeks out, as we are now, were as much as 5% off the final results.
    This election has plenty of time to change still.

Nobody falling for the Empty Promises & Lies tumbling out of the mouths of Simon Harris & Micheal Martin. These promises should become an offence, just like selling something under fraudulent pretences. Protest vote is going to romp home Independents & some of the Extremes on the scale of the Referendums, because the main parties in Dail Eirinn are not listening.

    Regardless of what people think, the majority of people are financially secure and don’t want to lose out with a change of government. And before I see the usual reply.. “I’m all right, so sod everyone eles” nonsense”..
    everyone has their own self interests at heart. So please don’t think that the rich care about the poor, or the poor care about the rich.

    The majority of people do not trust SF and a range of different Independents to run this country and rightly so.
    Right now, with Trump in the USA for the next 4 years, what we need is stability, experience and masters of the economy not rookie politicians who have never had to govern or make an actual decision.

    All this type of polling does is encourage people not to vote, how about just letting people cast their vote in the only poll that counts instead of drivibg voter figures down, I mean look at the turnout of the last few elections, all betting Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.
