Even though polls indicate that support for his Fine Gael party is declining, Taoiseach Simon Harris has stated that there is “everything to play for” in the next election, reports Breaking News.
The most recent survey shows a six percentage point decline in support for Fine Gael.
Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin are currently ahead of Mr. Harris’s party, according to the Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll, reports Breaking News.
In the most recent poll, Fianna Fáil is leading with 21%, two percentage points more than in the paper’s last survey conducted two weeks earlier.
Fine Gael is at 19%, down 6 points since the November 14th election, while Sinn Féin is at 20%, up 1%, reports Breaking News.
Friday is election day in Ireland.
Fine Gael was still leading with 22% of the vote, according to a Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks survey released over the weekend, but it also showed a significant decline in party support, down four points from the paper’s last poll, reports Breaking News.
According to the Sunday Independent survey, Fianna Fáil remained at 20% while Sinn Féin increased by two points to 20%.
“I fully accept that this is a three-race tie,” Mr. Harris said on Monday when asked if he was trailing in the campaign on RTÉ’s Today With Claire Byrne show.
“There’s three parties all on roughly 20 per cent across a number of published polls. It is all to play for. Not one vote has been cast. And I’m humbly asking people to lend me and lend Fine Gael their number one vote, because we have a plan. We have the funding to deliver that plan,” reports Breaking News.
