DUBLIN - Ireland’s main opposition party, Fianna Fail, edged ahead of the governing Fine Gael in an opinion poll on Monday, a far more modest lead than a separate survey suggested a day earlier amid a pre election jump in support for third-placed Sinn Fein.
Fianna Fail surged into a surprising 12-point lead over Fine Gael in the Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes poll that was published on Sunday but almost entirely conducted before Prime Minister Leo Varadkar called the Feb. 8 election. While Fianna Fail was unchanged from the series’ last poll in October, Fine Gael dropped six points. Satisfaction with the government also fell sharply to 27% from 42% while Varadkar’s personal approval plummeted to 35% from 51% in October.Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the Irish Republican Army , with whom both of the main parties refuse to govern, jumped seven points to 21%. Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin reiterated again on Monday that it would not form a coalition.
The survey of 1,200 prospective voters in every constituency was conducted between Thursday and Saturday, the opening days of the campaign.
