Fianna Fáil’s approval rating in government continues to decline in the latest opinion poll.
A new Sunday Times / Behavior and Attitudes poll shows the party is down one point to 19% in support.
Sinn Féin is the most popular party in the Republic with 32 percent support, two more, while Fine Gael has increased between one and 30 percent support.
Greens are down 1 to 5 percent, Labor is unchanged at 3, while Solidarity / People ahead of earnings and Social Democrats are also unchanged at 1 percent.
People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett says the government’s handling of the pandemic is playing a huge role in declining his support in the polls.
“The big problem for people is that they feel that the new government has not been coherent and has been giving contradictory messages and that the strategy they are following is not really effective in pursuing and eliminating Covid-19.”
Sinn Féin TD Donnchadh O’Laoghaire says he believes his party’s strong result in the poll also reflects poorly on the government.
“The response in the polls highlights the fact that there is still a great appetite for a different way of doing things. I think this government has shown a lack of leadership and has not inspired the confidence of the public.”
