Sinn Féin Matches Fine Gael In Electoral Support
Sinn Féin is neck-and-neck with Fine Gael in terms of electoral support in the Republic of Ireland, according to a new survey by the Irish Times.
The latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll shows both parties on 24% of support, with Independents on 23%, Fianna Fail on 20% and Labour lingering behind on 9%.
However, in terms of party leadership, the poll showed 27% support for Labour's Joan Burton, 35% for Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams and just 26% each for Enda Kenny and Fianna Fail leader Micheál Martin.
Ms Burton took over as leader of Labour and Tánaiste in July 2014, succeeding Eamon Gilmore in both those roles.
