"Corkhurler is saying nothing more at this time, all these questions will be answered in the SBP".
Two things:
1. This poll is almost identical to the one published in the Irish Examiner this morning. One point difference for labour and a couple of points further down the card.
2. I would be very surprised if this poll leaked this early in the day. The SBP certainly don't want the other Sunday newsapers getting it for their first editions.
If it is true, it is hilarious. What happened to the meltdown in the FF vote the blueshirts kept promising us? Were they...were they making it all up:
Say it ain't so![]()
leaving aside all the media generated noise about transactions fifteen years ago, could we concentrate on protecting the progress and job growth over the last ten years?.
We depend and need further investment from outside the country - that will be harder to secure without a Fianna Fail led government - the alternative is a coalition of at least three parties with conflicting policies.
If the reports of this poll are correct, it reflects what ordinary people, as opposed to media and political anoraks, are thinking.
It is far too early in the campaign - a good salesman puts in the effort at the end of the sales cycle not the start - it is a long haul yet.
PD's re definitely panicking, I feel that FG need to keep on a steady course for if they make one slip FF will be all over them, let FF make the running and watch for slips should be there strategy
Romanticist 75%, Fundamentalist 69%, Idealist 63%, Cultural Creative 63%, Postmodernist 56%, Modernist 44%, Existentialist 44%, Materialist 19%
Pro Deo, Rege et Patria, Hibernia Unanimis
On 37% FF would lose circa 15 seats. It would be the lowest FF starting total in an election since 1926. The equivalent poll totals five years ago was 48%.
If FF is STARTING 11 points down on where they started in the last election, that is meltdown territory. During campaigns FF usually drops from the starting polls. If they drop below 35% at the end they will be in the low sixties in seat totals, and could hit the high fifties, if they get bad breaks with transfers.
It shows how bad things are for FF when they think a humiliating 37% is good!!!![]()

What FPV vote do you actually think FF will get CJH?Originally Posted by CJH
Because FF were so very good in 2002 with their vote management even a three percentage point loss would mean a lot of seats going south.
I'm not trying to be antagonistic, just wondering what you think would be a 'par' FPV score this year.
I'm not canvassing (too much study to do) so I don't know how things are going. I fully expect FF to lose seats, and if they get the same as in 1992 and 1997 they would be happy.Originally Posted by Paddylekker
I'm not saying this is a good poll result for FF as such, but after a week when the media and the opposition have been telling us that FF have imploded, to actually increase their share over the previous poll (IF THIS IS CORRECT) is fairly remarkable
FG and Lab have consistently stated its all about the trends in the poll if this is right and FF are going up not down some trend
