Cowen braces himself for 100 lost council seats
With just three full days of campaigning left until the triple election showdown, Brian Cowen was shown to have made absolutely no headway with voters as a fresh poll showed his party at an historic low.
Fianna Fáil dropped another three points to stand at 21% as Fine Gael and Labour both solidified their support and stayed on 34% and 18% respectively.
