An Irish Times/Ipsos MROBI poll has revealed that for the first time Sinn Féin is level with Fine Gael in popular support.
Other results show that Labour support has increased slightly since the Cabinet reshuffle in the summer. Tánaiste Joan Burton is now the most popular party leader.
The poll asked, if an election was held tomorrow, who would you vote for:
24% chose Fine Gael, showing no change; 24% chose Sinn Féin, up four points; 20% chose Fianna Fáil, down five points; 9% chose Labour, an increase of 2 points; and 23% chose Independents/Others, which was down one point.
The poll was compiled from a representative sample of 1,200, over 18 voters, in face-to-face interviews at 100 sampling points across all constituencies.
