Referendums, for some unknown reason at 9%. Let it go, let it go. The Fine Gael change of leadership is at 7%. Proper order. But Cost of Living is below this at 6%? Healthcare/HSE at 3%. Climate change at 2%. Taxes at the same level. Economy at the same level. Taxes at the same level. Gaza at the same level.  What does this tell us? That many issues jostle around for traction, that much of this is media and social media led, that some are sticky - as it were, some are not, that point about housing - its persistence - suggests that it remains a very live issue in broad terms. That can't be good for the government.  Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
