Fine Gael is on course to be the biggest party in the Dáil after the General Election, according to a recent opinion poll.
The latest Ipsos/MRBI poll in today's Irish Times shows support for the party has risen two percentage points since September to 30%.
The satisfaction ratings of the Government and Enda Kenny have also risen.
Support for Labour continues to fall, however, it is down one point to 7%.
Sinn Féin is up two points to 21%, Fianna Fáil has dropped one point to 19% and support for Independents or others is down two points to 23%.
The poll was conducted via face-to-face interviews on Monday and Tuesday of this week among a representative sample of 1,200 adult voters at 100 sampling points in all constituencies.
The margin of error is +/-2.8%.
