RedC Poll (Sunday Business Post) Results (30/1/11)

Sierra Oscar

Tomorrows SBP carries the following RedC Poll:

Fine Gael: 33 (-1)
Labour: 21 (-2)
Sinn Féin: 13 (-1)
Fianna Fáil: 16 (-1)
Green Party: 2 (NC)
Independents: 15 (+5)

Next Taoiseach preference:

Micheál Martin 31%
Eamon Gilmore 26%
Enda Kenny 19%

Everything is pretty much within the margin of error when compared to the last poll. Obviously, the lack of a substantial FF bounce stands out foremost. Its looking like FF has stabilised at 15% or there about but will have a battle on their hands to get towards 20%. Labour have really stagnated, and are in trouble.

IND/Other seem to have got a bounce form the likes of Shane Ross and Paul Sommerville declaring. It hard to know how much of that 'Other' support is ULA though. All very interesting.

FG overall majority would seem off the cards now. They would need to rise 6-7% over the next 3 weeks to make that possible.

Well at least Labour haven't lost any support in this poll unlike Fine Gael; if they did then they would be in real trouble - although I'm sure this poll doesn't take into account public reaction from Burton or Shortall's media stunts over the past couple of days. I'm kinda shocked though that FF are only 5 points behind Labour, who are those 16%!!

Comrades! It's time to campaign harder, the FF canvassing machine still has life in it yet, let's crush it once and for all!

The following are the figures based on who would be preferred to be the next Taoiseach:

Micheál Martin 31%
Eamon Gilmore 26%
Enda Kenny 19%

:eek:

i thought that fianna fail wouldd get a better bounce because of the change of leadership, thankfully this is not the case.

thats just a thank you card for Martin getting rid of Cowen. The public know nothing of Martin yet so 31% is pretty poor

That's some contrast with the milward browne figures! Shows that the polls are only polls really, still, will be interested to read this in detail in the morning.

Those figures are wrong.

SBP/Red C opinion poll results: FG: 33% (-1), Lab: 21% (-2%), FF: 16% (-1%), SF: 13% (-1%), Greens: 2% (unchanged), Ind: 15% (+5%)

So Killer Pigeon - Labour have not only stagnated but they have dropped support in the latest poll.

Sully you're wrong, flick on the news there.

Yep, just about to update the first post now. Got the +/-'s based on Pol.ie

IMO Martin is full of it & may very well be found out over the next 3 weeks. Its not that long ago since he was being trotted ad nauseum to explain away the mire we were being driven into.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Well Enda Kenny is in a perilous position now. He has been kept off the airwaves over the last six months, and his approval rating is still desperate.

Expect both FF & Labour to try and lure Enda out into the media during the election battle.

cabledude

The fact that Enda is not in the news as much as Eamon and Micheal is that he simply does not need to be. The message FG are trying to get across is that Kenny is the General and that Noonan, Vradkar et al are his Lieutenants. Its their job to get the FG message out there for the citizens to digest. He will come out when the message is fully out there to make his case to the people to elect himself and his team as the next government.

It's a fact that he is not as strong a communicator as Martin or Gilmore. But where were Micheal Martins excellent communication skills when the IMF were in town. Kenny may not hair flair. But let's be brutally honest. Look where having flair at the helm of the country brought us to.........

Nope, there updated results. The news may have ran without double checking but all sources have updated figures.

This would seem to have little relevance to voting intentions though given the the party polls.

Still it makes you think if people vote for candidates and not the parties, are the party polls telling us the full story given the favourable view of Micheál Martin despite being the new leader of Fianna Fáil.

I. DON'T. CARE!!

Comrades!

The right wing media is trying to corrupt the cause of Labour!!

This is but a minor obstacle in our path, don't let the Fianna Fáilers and Blueshirt downtrodden you and get the better of you! Don't let them defile your pride, your morale!

Fight against capitalist tyranny! Fight against the oppressors of liberty! Get up! Stand up! Fight for your rights! Fight for a new freer, more inclusive and more open society!

We shall fight the right wingers on their campaign trails,
We shall fight them on the doorsteps,
We shall fight them on the street,
We shall fight them on the ballot paper,
We shall fight them in the Oireachtas,

We shall never surrender!

In hopeless situations, J'ATTAQUE, J'ATTAQUE, J'ATTAQUE!!

(In other news, Labour's support shoots up by 10% after a boards.ie user, known only as Killer Pigeon, posted an inspiring morale lifting speech on the site)

EDIT: Also, for those who haven't realised it yet, this post isn't intended to advocate "violence as one political alternative", it is merely blunt satire. I'd imagine a general consensus on this would have been reached after reading the very last sentence in brackets (i.e., it was not to be taken seriously).

It wasn't intended to be either, it's just tradition. It just means, "friend", "ally".

Not in a political context.
