Good news for FF in new poll

There's good news for Fianna Fáil today, as the latest opinion poll shows their popularity has soared.

Micheál Martin's party has a 33 per cent approval rating – the highest it's been in the last eight years.

The poll of 12-hundred voters, conducted by Ipsos/MRBI, was taken on Monday and Tuesday of this week as the Government was struggling with the Brexit fallout.

The results also show that Fine Gael is down two points to 24 per cent, but the real losers are the Independents who have 22 per cent support – a fall of eight per cent.
