Fine Gael stayed the same at 17.

So did Sinn Féin, though.

And this is what I think could be really interesting playing out in the by-elections is... How much of the fuel protest plays into people, or that mindset plays into how people are voting intentions, yeah.

Yeah, we saw cost of living obviously remains the highest.

It's 10 clear housing now.

It's up to 55.

Simon Harris popularity went down to three.

Not as bad as Michal.

So, like, not, like, massive changes apart from Fianna Fáil got the hit and, as I say, those gains for the parties that were front and centre of the fuel protests.

So I think when we asked this question,

November last.

Kind of at the height of the crisis for Micheál Martin, you could argue.

Jim O'Callaghan was soaring.

I talked to a few people in Fianna Fáil the last, since the poll came out.

And there's two, one thing that's really important to point out actually, though, is that I think within Fianna Fáil voters, 50% still backed him.

so still quite a high number amongst the people who would probably ultimately be but you want to grow a party yeah right you have to appeal to a broad base and outside of your own your own party so yeah he's dropped now the sense I'm picking up in Fianna Fáil is that he'll get over this he will recover um

Is it as terminal as it might be for Jack Chambers?

I don't think so, because Jack Chambers was 17 after the height of the Jim Gavin fiasco, which was closely attached to him.

Yeah.

You know, that was seen as being terminal to his leadership ambitions.
