Fianna Fail Down in Business Post Poll

ITs a good week for Red C to take the latest tracking poll for the Sunday Business Post. Markets are falling like stones (Friday has the potential to be another massive dead cat bounce) and the government don’t look to have stamped authority on many aspects of policy.

REcently concludd partnership talks have the ingredients to annoy rather than placate businesses and workers alike while George Hook is busy rising the blue-shirts around him. FF will at least be using these events to cover a sharp drop in their numbers.

FF (-4) 36%

FG (+3) 28%

Lab (-1) 9%

Green (-) 7%

SF (-1) 9%

PD ( +1) 3%

The obvious irony of PD support rising as they exit stage left is overshadowed by the seriousness of a further drop in Labour support in the week their campaign HQ emailed all suporters to highlight an article extolling GIlmore as the real leader of the oposition. In the current economic climate with Cowen and his government failing to secure people’s belief the Labour leader will be very dismayed by the poll. If he is not then the job is not for him. Enda will be pleased for this sort of support next June might keep him his job.
