The poll, to be published tomorrow, shows support for Fianna Fáil at 30%, giving it a four-point lead over Fine Gael, which is at 26%.

Support for both parties increased compared with a poll from the same source last month, when support for Fianna Fáil was at 28% and Fine Gael at 23%.

Meanwhile, there has been a dip in popularity for the Green Party, whose support has slipped from 11% in June to 7% this month.

Sinn Féin has gained two points to 14%, while support for independents has dropped from 13% to 8%, although the Independent Alliance’s support increased from 3% to 4%.

Support for Labour is unchanged at 5%, Solidarity-People Before Profit remains at 2% and the Social Democrats polled at 1%.

Aontú and Renua both saw marginal increases from 0% in the last poll to 1% this month.
