Yes side boosted by treaty poll

SUPPORT for a Yes vote in this Friday’s Lisbon Referendum is holding strong despite slight gains for those opposed to ratifying the treaty, according to the last opinion poll before the electorate casts its vote.

The latest opinion poll shows that 55% of respondents will vote Yes, as opposed to 27% in favour of a No vote, with 18% of people still to make up their minds.

The results of the Sunday Business Post/Red C tracking poll should provide a timely confidence boost for the Yes side, although the considerable number of undecided voters means the final result is far from a foregone conclusion.
