1 National Opinion Poll: February for Publication on 21st February /Paul 1. Moran
2 2. National Opinion Poll
3 Introduction A National Public Opinion Poll was conducted on behalf of The Sunday Independent to be published on Sunday 21st February Interviews were conducted face-to-face, in-home, with those aged 18+. Quota controls were set on gender, age, social class and region to mirror the 18+ population profile. Interviewing was conducted at 100 sampling points nationwide. 1,065 Interviews were carried out between 17 th 18 th February 2016 Data was weighted to reflect the adult population aged 18+. The margin of error for this opinion poll is +/
4 Introduction The survey results presented here are derived from The Independent Newspaper Group/Millward Brown Poll. The poll was conducted among a sample of 1,065 adults representative of the approximate 3.43 million adults aged 18 and over - interviewed on a face-to-face basis in the home at 100 sampling points throughout the Republic of Ireland. The margin of error for this opinion poll is +/- 3.0 POLL Interviewing on the poll was carried out between 17 th and 18 th February 2016 The poll was conducted in accordance with the guidelines set by ESOMAR and AIMRO (European and Irish Market and Opinion Research governing bodies). Extracts from the report may be quoted or published on condition that due acknowledgement is given to Millward Brown and The Sunday Independent. Millward Brown & The Sunday Independent
5 Some subtle shifts in opinion, but not a lot has changed. This final Sunday Independent/Millward Brown opinion poll before next week s General Election, was conducted on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Therefore it measured the pulse of the nation exactly two weeks into what has been quite frankly, a rather dull campaign. Fieldwork commenced shortly after the second televised leaders debate on Monday, where all seven leaders had the opportunity to advance their causes. On the face of it, not a lot has changed since our last national poll at the beginning of the month. However, scratch beneath the surface, and there are some subtle shifts in opinion. Opinions are becoming more focused just 13pc at this stage claim to be undecided. However, this poll sought only the views of those both registered to vote, and intending to do so with some degree of certainly (those who will definitely/probably vote next Friday). Therefore, whilst results with previous tracking polls are not directly comparable, we can still use them as a relative benchmark. First off, the overall Party support. Fine Gael remains top of the pecking order, and stands at 27pc. Fianna Fáil trails by four points at 23pc, and Labour remains firmly in the Doldrums at six percent. Sinn Féin now attracts 19pc of the vote, with Independents/other parties continuing to excel they are the second largest grouping at 25pc. From a statistical point of view, there is no real change of note. So is the electorate becalmed? Not really. Some in Fine Gael might rue not going to the country in the Autumn. However, by doing so would not have guaranteed any further success. The issue for Fine Gael is that their campaign has stuttered from the outset. The widely held view was that this was Fine Gael s election to lose. The assumed narrative of the campaign was that it would be a straightforward slugfest on the economy. 5.
6 Some subtle shifts in opinion, but not a lot has changed (Cont d) However, opposition parties have deftly sidestepped this frontal assault, and turned defence into attack in terms of focussing on society, and societal needs the Government Parties perceived soft underbelly. The public have warmed to this message (health {as always} but also homelessness have consistently been to the fore as key issues, as opposed to the obvious economic message). There are two reasons why this has been made easier for the opposition many do not see the benefits of the recovery as yet, whilst for others, the role that Government claims to have played in it has been exaggerated - external factors have been more than benign to us of late. It will be interesting to see if the threatened economic fear offensive will gain traction the impact of that message has been lukewarm so far. There are indicators in this poll that the public may not find such a single-minded strategy compelling just one in three (34pc) agree that a change in Government would put Ireland s economic stability at risk and it is only Fine Gael supporters who have any conviction on this (66pc of them agree, compared to just 39pc of Labour supporters). Similarly, and reflecting the opposition s message of fairness in society, 57pc believe a change of Government could lead to a fairer society. How the Government parties channel this message will be critical over the next few days. Labour have always been on the back foot, and on the basis of these results, will have a very long and uncomfortable day at the count centres next Saturday. From a long way out, there has been a sense that relying on things to change dramatically during the course of a campaign was optimistic at best. It would seem that the party s message is going unheeded. In addition, Labour have been caught between a rock and a hard place; losing support to the far left, but finding itself having to align with the centre right (FG) for self-preservation purposes. In essence, the Labour brand has been hugely diluted. 6.
7 Some subtle shifts in opinion, but not a lot has changed (Cont d) A particular worry for Labour is that their traditional stronghold of Dublin (often the cockpit of the election), is faring no better (7pc support). This election may well be a case of damage limitation at best. It also seems that some senior figures within the Labour Party have gone to ground. Joan Burton seems to be ploughing a lonely furrow. Fianna Fáil have been, to a certain extent, the surprise package so far in this campaign. Michéal Martin has performed competently over the past couple of weeks, as have his senior team. So far at least, they have been relatively comfortable in counteracting accusations laid against them. This is reflected in the public s appraisal of his role as party leader satisfaction with his performance is at 40pc far above all others, and significantly ahead of where he was at the outset of the campaign. Sinn Féin have slipped off the pace slightly. The party began this campaign brightly (exposing the anomaly of the Government s fiscal space). There is a sense however, that Gerry Adams grasp of the minutiae of detail is brittle at best. In addition, there is also a question mark over the party s ability to get its voters out on the day (its support being skewed towards cohorts who traditionally tend not to vote younger and from lower socio economic cohorts). If this Achilles Heel can be rectified, it could be a very good day for Sinn Fein next Saturday. Either way, it is certain that SF will significantly increase its representation in the 32 nd Dáil. Independents/other parties continue to perform strongly. In particular, there have been notable gains for AAA/PbP (5pc), and the Social Democrats (4pc). Renua and the Greens register 2pc each. These smaller parties took full advantage of their participation on the Leaders debate on Monday, making points that resonated with the audience. We need to treat these National figures for smaller parties with caution for some parties, there may be a desire to vote for them, but no candidates will be available within that voter s particular constituency. For others, a nationwide poll may not reflect fully their strength within specific areas, or constituency strongholds, and thus the seats they may gain. 7.
8 Some subtle shifts in opinion, but not a lot has changed (Cont d) Taking a step back, it is clear that with the Government parties at a combined support level of just 33pc, the next five days will be critical. The political landscape has not been this fractured in generations. Whilst forecasting the rank order of how parties will perform is relatively straightforward, how this will translate into forming a Government is anybody s guess. 8.
