As reported by the Irish Examiner, the poll published in the Sunday Times found support for Fianna Fáil increased to 23 per cent, while Fine Gael are just behind on 21 per cent.
However, a separate poll by the Irish Mail had support for the two Government parties' in the reverse order, with Fine Gael on 26 per cent with a much more dramatic gap to Fianna Fáil on 16 per cent.

The poll also showed a drop in the satisfaction rating for the Government from 53 per cent in June to 46 per cent in early October.
