Fianna Fails

According to Reuters, citing a Red C/Irish Sun poll, support for Ireland's governing Fianna Fail has nosedived, dropping to 13 percent of first preference votes. This puts it fourth in the league table, behind Fine Gael, Labour and – for the first time – Sinn Fein.

Prime minister Brian Cowen sees his personal popularity plummet to an all-time low of eight percent.
