Micheál Martin is still the most popular leader in the country. That's despite a big drop in support for his party Fianna Fáil.

The latest Ipsos/MRBI poll in today's Irish Times shows they're down 7 points to 26 per cent support.

They're now neck and neck with Fine Gael who've gone up two.

Sinn Féin are on 19 percent, Labour are on 5 and Independents and others have risen slightly to 24 percent.
