"Overall voter satisfaction with Government has dropped by 5pc"
"The latest opinion poll has seen Fianna Fáil suffer a major slump in popularity, conceding top spot to Sinn Féin."
"Taoiseach Micheál Martin and his party have endured a horrid fortnight since the withdrawal from the presidential race of their beleaguered nominee, former Dublin football manager Jim Gavin, which elicited major questions over Mr Martin's leadership and the party's due diligence process in nominating candidates."
Overall voter satisfaction with the Government has fallen by five percentage points, according to the latest poll. Fianna Fáil has suffered a significant slump in popularity and has ceded the top position to Sinn Féin. The party's presidential nominee, former Dublin football manager Jim Gavin, withdrew from the race. The withdrawal triggered intense scrutiny of Micheál Martin's leadership and raised questions about Fianna Fáil's candidate vetting and due diligence processes. The sequence of events has left Micheál Martin and his party facing reputational damage and a short-term political challenge.
