Well a poll is due out on Sunday according to a thread on Connaught-Ulster for Galway West. The PDs retained their seat here on 5.4% of the 1st preference vote by running 3 candidates. It's thought they will only run two candidates this time. Will be most interesting as the second recent poll from there - especially in terms of judging if the McDowell effect has helped the party here. They got 12% in the local-elections I hope they hold it as a PD-inclined voter for next year. I understand on past experience that the next Red C national-poll will be out this Sunday (unless someone knows different). Will be most interesting because it will give a pointer (though not an absolute indicator) to whether the Bertie-bounce is a lasting phenomenon or just a short-term sympathy-vote. Of course, Red C has a radically different methodology to the other polls except for ICM. They apparently allocate 50% of the undecideds to how that social-group voted in the last General Election, and weight the results of the entire sample according to likelihood to vote based on social-group including age. Whether this results in more accurate results remains to be seen.
