Fianna Fáil recovery with voters continues

Fianna Fáil’s political rehabilitation continues apace, with the latest poll showing more than one in five would vote for the party if an election were held today.

The first Paddy Power Red C poll of the year shows the party has made vast strides in regaining support since the 2011 general election, when it was almost wiped out at the polls.

The party’s popularity now stands at 21% — an increase of three points since the last poll carried out in early December. This makes it the second most popular political party in the State.
