The new Sunday Times Behaviour and Attitudes Poll, which surveyed over 900 voters between 3-15 September, shows a slight rise in support for both Sinn Féin (up 2 points to 32%) and Fine Gael (up 1 point to 30%), while Fianna Fáil’s poor recent record continued with a one point drop to 19%.
Government coalition partner the Green Party also drop 1 point to 5%, while Labour remain unchanged at 3%. The Social Democrats and Solidarity/People Before Profit/RISE also see no change, polling at 1% each, while support for Independents has also remained stable at 9%.
The poll does have a margin of error of 3.3%, which all changes have occurred within.
