Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil tied for top spot, new opinion poll suggests

Image: Niall Carson/PA Image: Niall Carson/PA SUPPORT FOR SINN Féin has surged once again according to a new opinion poll, putting the party in joint first place alongside Fianna Fáil.

This poll of 1,000 voters follows on from yesterday’s Panelbase poll for The Times that saw support for Sinn Féin jump ahead of Fine Gael for the first time this general election campaign and only trailing Fianna Fáil by two points.

If FF got in then they would get FG to support them like they did to FG... So no democracy here...

If the PUBLIC-PAID broadcaster is unwilling to include representation of ALL public-backed parties, they are NOT doing their job and should be removed and replaced. RTE is so badly run... 🙄😬👎🏻👎🏻

We should assess each candidate in the forthcoming election, but we shouldn't be afraid to vote for young candidates. Remember the first Dail was made up of large number of people under 40.

It would be great to see the Shinner in Government in the Free State, it sends a clear message to Unionist on the type of people in the South support, and the Shinners will destroy the economy, without being able to pass the blame.

How can it be allowed, that a national public service, publicly funded broadcaster be allowed to ignore and actively exclude any political party polling a quarter of the electorate? Is this another example of governance change needed or Gov't string pulling? Change Needed

👏🏼🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

The Irish electorate need to think of what our economy could do with the billions of euros this country we spend servicing our €204 billion Nat Debt, before we decide who to vote for next Saturday

Unfortunately they arent running enough candidates in enough constituencies to win a majority government so it will be FF/FG again then the next election will be FG/FF and the cycle will go on. There the same party

'A house divided against itself falls!' Consolidation of both parties means house of Irish republicanism will stand. Sinne Fianna Fail Fein.

Here’s a 2nd poll for Leo👌

Fabiencocho 👌

I feel a song coming on....Come on Mary Lou!!!!!!💪👌

Oh Jesus no 🤦🏻‍♂️ People have short memories. Two gowls

It's going to be a long week for Leo and Micheal

SF will be getting a nose bleed now. They may actually have to go into government. It's the equivalent of someone coming up to the local Gobsh1te who being standing on the side of a pitch this years offering 'advice' and handing him the bainisteoir bib.

Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil tweet out videos accusing each other of considering Sinn Féin coalitionLeo and Micheál, both out canvassing in Cork today, ruled out a Sinn Féin coalition after a favourable opinion poll result for the party. Leo and Me-haul. All tanked up on 'dutch courage'. Brylcreaming their hair in the toilets of a ballroom of romance somewhere in rural Ireland in the 1920s. Agreeing about which country girl neither of them will dance with. And her not even there. Saying no to something is a negative. FIanna Fáil are making assumptions that they are going to be the leading party after the election. No votes have been cast yet, you might be in for a surprise.😱
