A new survey conducted on 1,000 people over the last 10 days has revealed that Sinn Fein has now risen four points in the latest opinion poll, up to 26%. If this trends continues, the party would be poised to gain over 40 seats at the next election.
Support for Gerry Adams in particular, however, has sharply decreased over the Mairia Cahill issue. His dissatisfaction rating is up 8 points, up to 56%.
Support for Independents is also up, and it now stands at 23%.
Both coalition parties have taken a hammering, with Fine Gael dropping to 23% and Layout facing a wipeout, its support down to a paltry 7%.
