Posted on February 12, 2009 by Alan Kelly
Great news from the latest Irish TImes MRBI poll in Feb 13th edition.
The poll was carried out on Monday and Tuesday, with a sample of 1,000 voters around the country.
It shows Fianna Fáil support down 5% to 22%, behind Fine Gael, 32% and we in the Labour party are up to 24%, which is a 10% increase, while our party leader Eamon Gilmore has the highest approval rating of any leader in the country.
The poll is a testament to the work being carried out by the party at national and local level. We were the first party to produce an economic stimulus plan and many of our suggestions are being now taken up by other parties as their policies.

Labour Doing Well in the Polls!
Posted on February 28, 2009 by Alan Kelly
The recent polls have been a huge boost to the Labour party. The recent MRBI poll had us at 24%, while the latest Irish Independent/Millward Brown IMS Poll has my party at 22% and this was followed by the Sunday Business Post/Red C poll, which puts Labour at 22%. All these polls are showing a huge surge of support for the Labour party - many of them in double digits. There are many reasons for this surge and chief amonsgt them has been the performance of our party leader Eamon Gilmore. He has been head and shoulders ahead of everyone else in the Dail over the last year and this is bearing fruit now. Eamon is a honest, sincere and passionate politician, who has conviction and great leadership qualities. Also, the policies adopted by my party over the last number of months have been in tune with the public, whether on the banking crisis, the budget cuts, healthcare policy, education policy or the lack of innovation from this Government in order to stop the loss of jobs and /or create new opportunities.
