Poll: What party would you vote for in the Northern Ireland assembly election this week?

A new poll has Sinn Féin eight points clear of the DUP and the Alliance Party.

SINN FÉIN ARE on course to become the largest party in Northern Ireland, according to a new opinion poll ahead of Thursday’s Stormont election. 

The Institute of Irish Studies-University of Liverpool/Irish News poll has the party on 26.6%, with the DUP and the Alliance Party neck-and-neck in second place among voters on 18.2% each.

Meanwhile, the UUP are on 12.1%, with the SDLP on 10.5%. Other parties account for 14.4% of decided voters.

If this result were to be mirrored in the election on 5 May, Sinn Féin would become the largest party in the assembly and would likely see Michelle O’Neill become First Minister, a position the DUP has held since 2007.

So today we’re asking: What party would you vote for in the Northern Ireland assembly election this week?


Poll Results:

Sinn Féin (6203)
SDLP (3447)
Alliance Party (3196)
Other (1065)
DUP (393)
TUV (91)
UUP (82)
