| Description | David Norris and Fine Gael's Gay Mitchell have suffered catastrophic drops in support in the race for the Aras while Labour's Michael D Higgins has stretched his lead to 23pc.
The results of the latest poll provide a huge boost for Independent candidate Sean Gallagher, who is now in second place on 20pc.
Senator Norris' support has slumped to just 11pc. But the poll will send shockwaves through Fine Gael, whose candidate Mr Mitchell is now in second last place on 9pc -- just ahead of Dana Rosemary Scallon on 6pc.
With just 21 days left until polling day, he is facing the humiliating prospect of finishing well behind Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness -- who is performing well at 19pc. |
