Fianna Fáil’s support has fallen to 17 per cent in the latest Business Post/Red C poll. Fine Gael remains on 19 per cent, while Sinn Féin climbs to 23 per cent, widening the gap with the coalition. The combined vote for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael now sits at just 36 per cent, significantly behind the main opposition parties. Political analyst Professor Gary Murphy says these numbers highlight the government’s struggle to connect with voters, particularly as support for left-wing parties continues to rise.
