A new opinion poll today suggests an increase in support for Fine Gael and Labour.
The poll also suggests support for other parties and Independents has remained static or fallen slightly.
Over 1,000 voters were surveyed for today's Paddy Power/Red C poll between Monday and Wednesday this week.
When the Undecided voters (14%) are excluded, and compared to the Red C poll last month for the Sunday Business Post; the main findings of today's poll are:
- Fine Gael 26% [+2] ;
- Labour 9% [also +2];
- Fianna Fail 17% [-1];
- Sinn Féin 21% [No change]
- Independents/Others 27% [-3]
The poll suggests the two Government parties may be seeing benefits from the recovery in the economy.
At 26%, Fine Gael has its highest ranking since just last September, just before Budget 2015.
The 9% rating for the Labour Party is also a long way back from a Paddy Power/Red C poll in June last year when the party dropped to 4%.
It got just 7% in the local elections. The party will be hoping it can now climb back into double figures.
Fianna Fáil at 17% is down one point. It has been polling around 17-18% in Red C recently but still reached 25% nationally in the local elections.
Sinn Féin remains unchanged at 21% - it has been at this level in Red C for several months.
The party might have expected a "bounce" given the fieldwork was conducted in the days immediately after the party's weekend Ard Fheis.
But it may be that any gain might have been offset by the political fall-out from the Paudie McGahon controversy following the BBC Spotlight programme on Tuesday night.
The fall in support for Independents/Others may reflect the recent political focus on government formation after the next election, particularly with Fine Gael, Labour and Sinn Féin all holding conferences in the run-up to this poll.
When Don't Knows ( at 3% are excluded ) support for the Same Sex Marriage referendum is 78% Yes and 22% No - this remains in keeping with a trend of three in four saying they will vote Yes.
However, there is an apparent trend in those who were previously Undecided now moving toward the No camp.
The result of this shift is a small decline in support for the Yes camp.
Once Undecided voters are excluded, support for Yes moves from 80% to 78%.
Of those supporting the referendum, approximately one in ten still have some reservation either about gay adoption, or just gay relationships in general.
But, these reservations appear to have decreased somewhat over the past two months, and mean that the "secure" Yes vote - those who say they have no reservations about gay couples adopting or about gay relationships - is currently at 60%.
