Technical Appendix2

Technical Appendix●●●●The results of this opinion poll are based upon a representative sample of 912 eligibleIrish voters aged 18 years +.As such, the results can be deemed to be accurate to within plus or minus 3.3 percentagepoints at the 95% confidence level.Fieldwork was conducted on an in-home, face-to-face basis over the period 5 th – 15 thJune, 2015.The sample was stratified across constituencies at 125 locations in the country withindividuals selected for interview by way of Demographic Quotas (age, gender, socioeconomicstatus) in line with Central Statistics Office (CSO) and market research industrypopulation estimates.3

Technical Appendix●●●The subsequent survey results are weighted to reflect the known demographic profile ofIrish adults, utilising the most recently published census population estimates from theCentral Statistics Office (CSO).Party support levels are subsequently realigned in accordance with a technicaladjustment factor, designed to smooth the effects of extreme highs and lows in supportlevels for individual parties as measured at a single point in time, and taking variableelection day turnout levels into account.All aspects of the survey, including the Party Support adjustment factor, are implementedin accordance with the technical and ethical guidelines set down by the Association ofIrish Market Research Organisations (AIMRO) and the European Society of Opinion &Market Research (ESOMAR).4

Party Support Adjustment Factor: Technical Note●●●●●Predicting election results on the basis of poll data is not an exact science. All theevidence shows that support for individual parties can swing dramatically in the periodbetween elections- very often outside the bounds of historic election results.What to do in these circumstances? Most polling companies in Britain and Ireland publishtheir raw survey results as an index of fluctuations in the emotional mood of voters. Theyalso build in an adjustment based on a number of factors. Where we have reports of howpeople voted in the last general election as well as how they intend to vote in the nextone we can use these data to model the likely level of swing from the last electionresults.We then add back in the forecasts of voters who have not voted last time or do notanswer that particular question.Finally we take into account each individuals stated likelihood of voting in a forthcomingGeneral Election.This is the basis of the adjusted voting forecast in Behaviour & Attitudes polls.9

Commentary14

Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Opinion Poll SeriesBackgroundFieldwork for today’s poll was conducted over the period 5 th – 15 th of June last. As such,surveying took place just one month after our last poll, the results of which indicated aconsolidation of the Government party’s uplift in support which had originally registered inMarch of this year.The reasonably healthy support levels for both Fine Gael and Labour in May were attributedto a run of good news in the run-up to the survey, including statements by Michael Noonanabout likely tax reductions in the end of year budget, perhaps even stretching to a cut in theUniversal Social Charge.Since then, the socio-political landscape has been a little rockier, with the Governmentaccused in some quarters of deferring any potential fall-out from the Site Serve controversyuntil after the election by way of the establishment of a formal enquiry.There have also been rumblings of industrial unrest in recent weeks with, for example,thousands of Dunnes Stores workers and supporters protesting at Merrion Square lastSaturday, 6 th June in support of improved pay and working conditions.Crucially, a series of consumer confidence surveys and associated economic reports pointtowards a clear and persistent divide between urban and rural Ireland in relation to theeconomic recovery, with rural communities in particular still suffering from the consequencesof the recession.15

Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Opinion Poll SeriesBackgroundMeanwhile, media commentary throughout the fieldwork period was heavily flavoured withcoverage of the acute possibility of a Greek Euro exit, and the potentially disastrous effectthis could have on an open economy like Ireland’s.All of the above dynamics would suggest an electorate which is increasingly weary of waitingfor the benefits of the economic recovery to reach themselves and their families, at a timewhen all the indications are that we are facing into a further period of global economicuncertainty.Fine Gael and Labour might, of course, have expected an electoral bounce following thepassing of the marriage equality referendum by a significant margin.In reality, both Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin managed to garner their share of the limelight inthe hours and days following the referendum result, perhaps best exemplified by the imagesof Micheál Martin and Gerry Adams broadcast nationwide from Dublin Castle as the resultsrolled in.Indeed, the last few weeks have generally been good ones for Fianna Fáil in general. Apartfrom benefitting, at least in part, from the post-referendum feel-good factor, the party was ofcourse successful in the Carlow Kilkenny by-election held on the same day.16

Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Opinion Poll SeriesBackgroundThe result of that by-election saw Bobby Aylward of Fianna Fáil capture 28% of the firstpreference vote, taking the seat on the ninth count ahead of Fine Gael’s David Fitzgerald.This win may prove to be more significant in the longer term than it initially appears. It wasthe first by-election win for Fianna Fáil since 1996, and the first time Fianna Fáil gained aseat from Fine Gael since the Donegal-Leitrim by-election exactly 45 years ago.Fianna Fáil will be hoping that this victory will mark a turning point in the party’s fortunes, astime begins to run out prior to the looming General Election.17

Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Opinion Poll SeriesParty Support and Leader Satisfaction LevelsIn today’s poll, Government satisfaction has slipped (albeit statistically insignificantly) to28%, bringing it back to the average Government satisfaction rating which prevailedthroughout all of 2014.With two-thirds of the electorate actively dissatisfied with the manner in which theGovernment is running the country, the opposition has still therefore a significant opportunityto maximise its share of the vote come election day.Over the last number of polls, half of all Labour supporters have indicated they are unhappywith the Government’s performance, although this can presumably be attributed in large partto a perception amongst Labour apparatchiks that they are not receiving enough credit forrecent economic improvements.Government dissatisfaction remains highest amongst the blue collar working C2DE socioeconomicgroup, and in areas outside the large cities.A similar pattern pertains when we review Enda Kenny’s personal satisfaction rating asTaoiseach, with his rating registering at an average of just 29% over the last eight months.Leader satisfaction ratings for Joan Burton, Gerry Adams and Eamon Ryan are practicallyidentical to those measured last month.18

Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Opinion Poll SeriesParty Support and Leader Satisfaction LevelsMicheál Martin’s standing as leader of Fianna Fáil has, however, improved significantly by fivepercentage points – the only party leader who has registered a significant uplift.Notwithstanding that, Martin’s satisfaction rating of 40% today is merely on a par with hisSummer/Autumn 2014 level – its real significance is that his ongoing slide in popularity hasfinally been arrested.Most encouragingly for the Soldiers of Destiny, however, is the increase in Fianna Fáil partysupport to 21% following 12 months (May 2014 – May 2015) stuck on an average 18%. 21%brings the party back up to its average support level of March 2013 to April 2014, whenFianna Fáil and Fine Gael were tussling for top spot alongside the Independent bloc.An analysis of those sections of the electorate driving this increase in Fianna Fáil support isrevealing. Specifically, the party’s support has improved particularly so amongst workingclass C2DEs and residents outside the main urban areas. In other words, the disenfranchisednon-urban ordinary worker who continues to suffer despite the promises of better things tocome.In addition to this dynamic, it is a fact that practically all of Fianna Fáil’s improvement isaccounted for by those aged 55 years + - that very constituency which grew up when FiannaFáil was at the height of its populist power, and when its natural level of support stood at inor around 40%.19

Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Opinion Poll SeriesSupport for Introduction of AbortionFinally, the Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes Social issues tracker continues this monthwith an update on levels of support for the introduction of abortion in Ireland under specificcircumstances.Results in this regard are on a par with those of January 2013 and October 2014. Specifically,when the undecideds are excluded, support for abortion where fatal foetal abnormalityprecludes survival currently stands at 84% (83% in 2014 and 84% in 2013), with support forabortion where pregnancy results from rape or incest currently 81% excluding theundecideds (80% in 2014 and 79% in 2013).The proportion of undecideds has, however, increased in relation to both issues, a trendwhich in itself is indicative of marginally more consideration being given to the matter byvoters.Undoubtedly, the final percentage of voters who would support abortion, even in thesespecific circumstances, would reduce from these very high numbers in the event of whatwould undoubtedly be a heated campaign, although both amendments would likely still bepassed.20
