THIS WEEK A new Ipsos MRBI poll showed a rise in support for Fianna Fáil which is now the second most popular party in the country according to the survey.

The poll in the Irish Times showed a fall in support for Sinn Féin and Fine Gael while there was a small rise in support for the Labour Party. Independents and others were on down on previous polls and the Green Party were at two per cent.

An election is a long way off at this point with the next poll not scheduled until April 2016 at the latest but with the current administration now a year-and-a-half old we want to know what you think of the current political crop.

So, if there was an election held today, who would you vote for?

Poll Results:

Sinn Fein (1370)

Fianna Fail (1342)

Fine Gael (1237)

United Left Alliance (PBP/Socialists) (905)

Green Party (737)

Don't know (676)

Labour Party (578)

Independent/others (516)
