Fianna Fáil and Independents are the biggest movers in the first poll of 2017




There was good news for both Fianna Fáil and Independent TDs over the weekend as the first poll of 2017 showed a surge in support for the opposition.

The latest poll conducted by ‘Behaviour and Attitudes’ has revealed that Fianna Fáil have a 6 point lead on their rivals Fine Gael, with 29% of people supporting Mr Martin and his colleagues.

However the poll makes for bad reading for Mr Kenny as Fine Gael have dropped by three points to 23%.

Meanwhile Sinn Féin have also dropped by 2 points down to 17%, whilst the AAA/PBP are up 1% to 5% – with Labour unchanged on 5%.

However there was bad news for The Independent Alliance and the Green party as they have dropped to 3%, whilst the Social Democrats remain on 1%, with Renua failing to register.

Although the unaligned independents will be more than happy are up to 15% from 7% in the previous poll.
