Time for my February update which comes in two parts, the second part will be regional detail& projections coming tomorrow. Today I'll just look at headline national figure and trends.
Over the past month the only gains have been made by independents & others.
While @FineGael contine to poll above 30%, the small gain that @fiannafailparty made at the turn of the year has now been reversed and FF are now back to polling lower than their #GE16 result.
Both @IndepAlliance & @pb4p/@solidarityie Continue to poll far lower than their #GE16 result, suggesting seat losses were there to be a General Election later this year.
Two other minor parties making no headway since #GE16 are @greenparty_ie and @SocDems.
The one group that does appear to be increasing in support in recent weeks are independents and the micro-parties like @RENUAIreland @SocialistParty @workersparty & @AontuIE, but none of those minor parties seems to be making much headway on its own.
