Poll shows rise for Labour, but Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil drop

Fine Gael are down and Labour are up in the last opinion poll before the election is called.

The RED C survey for tomorrow's Sunday Business Post also sees a drop in support for Fianna Fáil putting it back to the level it got in its disastrous general election performance five years ago.

This poll was taken between Monday and Wednesday and has a margin of error of 3% and compares to the last tracking poll from RED C a fortnight ago.

Fine Gael goes down a point to 29%, the party's second drop since Christmas, while Labour goes up a point to 10% - the party's highest poll rating since last September.

Support for Sinn Féin remains unchanged on 19%, while Fianna Fáil sees a two-point drop to 17% - exactly what it got in the general election five years ago.

Independents and others go up two to 25% - within that Renua go from 2% to 1%, Social democrats go up 1% to 2%, the Green go up 1% to 3%, the People Before Profit Anti Austerity Alliance are unchanged on 3% and independents and others are up 1% to 16%.
