The poll will fuel the already strong pressure to call a general election as soon as feasible
The Harris hop has skipped into a big jump for the Taoiseach, with a 17-point increase in his satisfaction rating since May. He is now easily the most popular party leader in the country, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll.
The poll will fuel the already strong pressure on Harris from his parliamentary party and the wider Fine Gael organisation to call a general election as soon as feasible after the Budget on October 1st. The icing on the cake for the Coalition is that the Greens have improved to 5 per cent and, with almost double that level of support in Dublin, have a reasonable chance of retaining their seats in the capital, whatever about the rest of the country.
The combined showing of 51 per cent for the Coalition parties gives the Government a healthy chance of winning another term, particularly if the three parties transfer to each other at the same rate as they did in the local and European elections in June.
