The Labour Party, which also rose to 5 per cent, will be hoping that the election of Ivana Bacik as leader will help further boost the party’s ailing fortunes in the polls.

People Before Profit sits at 3 per cent support nationwide, while Aontu is at 2 per cent.

Support for Independents remains at 11 per cent.

The poll, carried out by Red C, saw 1,001 adults aged over 18 surveyed online between March 18th-23rd.
