Support for the left-wing Sinn Fein party continued to decline in Ireland, The Journal writes on September 1, citing data from a Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks poll.
According to the data, for the first time since the election, in which Sinn Féin won a sensational victory, the party has lost its leadership. The most popular party in the country was the centre-right Fine Gael, with the support of 25% of those surveyed.
Second place went to Fianna Fáil, which is part of the governing coalition with Fine Gael and the Green Party, with 21% of the vote. Sinn Féin, after losing one percentage point of support, fell to third place with 18% of the vote.
Support for the main opposition party is seen falling about six months before parliamentary elections amid the ongoing migration crisis and unresolved housing issues in the country.
Let us remember that in neighbouring Northern Ireland, Sinn Féin won a historic victory by leading the autonomy government for the first time.
