Fianna Fáil is 10 Points down

Yes, it's true. According to the latest Red C opinion poll, published in the Sunday Business Post, Fianna Fáil have lost ten points in popularity since last month. And if Brian Cowen had any more fingers, they might have lost even more support, as he would certainly have put them into even more pies than he has so far. The larger government party is now left with only 26% of public support, the lowest level for them ever since - in 1926 - they came out of the political wilderness and decided to participate in the parliamentary process and in democratic elections. There must be a special meaning in the number 26. Meanwhile Fine Gael has risen to 33%, Labour to 15% and Sinn Fein to 10%.

If Cowen were not such a coward, he would call a new general election, and what fun would that be now...
