Poll reveals desire for new political party and unpopularity of Gilmore

A new opinion poll shows that almost half of the electorate support the formation of a new political party.

That figure is up by 6% on the last Sunday Independent/Millward Brown poll taken three months ago.

Meanwhile, Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore is the most unpopular leader, with just 16% saying they are happy with his performance.

While the Taoiseach Enda Kenny fares only marginally better with 25% satisfaction.
