Another weekend, another poll, as noted by banjoagbeanjoe in comments but nothing particularly striking to report. The changes are fairly minor. Fine Gael drops a point from 20% to 19%. Sinn Féin remains at 33%. Fianna Fáil drops a point from 17% to 16%. The GP rests at 5%. The SDs rise a point to 5%. Labour gains 2 points to 5%. SOL-PBP is at 3% and Aontú at 2% - no gain or loss for those last two. Independents are at 11% and again no change.

So the most one can say is that this remains a remarkably static political landscape. The movement is minimal, there's no great surprises, opinions appear baked in.

Amazingly given Covid-19 numbers have increased according to the SBP report:

The Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting last week was dominated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the related cost of living crisis also cropping up. "Those are the only two games in town at the moment," one Fine Gael TD said.

The figures behind the figures, as it were, are indicative but not conclusive. For FG:

Last year, it had 26 per cent support among 18 to 34-year-olds. But in this poll, that figure has more than halved to 12 per cent.

Whereas:

Sinn Féin currently has a very even spread of support, with 32 per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds, 43 per cent of 35 to 54-year-olds, and 25 per cent of over-55s. If low-income families and the squeezed middle both stick with Sinn Féin, that could be its path to power at the next election.

And for FF:

Its support has improved notably among 18 to 34-year-old voters to 17 per cent, which is ahead of Fine Gael's share of 12 per cent but well behind Sinn Féin's share of 32 per cent.

And how about this given all the moves in the LP (though the poll was taken before the new leader was announced):

The Social Democrats are particularly strong in Dublin with 11 per cent of support in the capital, almost double Labour's figure of 6 per cent.

But even with Ukraine and cost of living increases dominating the political landscape - at least currently, the scope for change one way or another appears limited.
