Controversy fails to dent Norris’ poll popularity

DAVID NORRIS’ Presidential campaign has received a significant boost in the shape of an opinion poll showing him to be the public’s favourite for the Áras.

The poll indicates that Mr Norris has not been irreparably damaged by the recent controversy surrounding comments he made on a range of sexual and moral issues.

Conducted this week, it shows Mr Norris on 21%, narrowly ahead of Labour candidate Michael D Higgins, who is on 19%.
