Sinn Féin remains the most popular party by a clear margin. Wednesday’s findings partially reverse the movements in the previous poll, when both Fianna Fáil and Martin suffered big drops in support, while Sinn Féin saw its support jump. But there is better news for the Fianna Fáil leader. It makes him the most popular party leader. A large majority of Fine Gael voters also back him, while Sinn Féin and Independent voters are strongly opposed to him.
