Never mind opinion polls, the real test of the public mood looms on June 7
A few weeks back I dismissed Fine Gael’s leadership change and reset as a “scramble for relevance.” Last week’s Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks poll would suggest I was being too complimentary. It showed a 2-point drop for Fine Gael, and a 3-point increase for Sinn Féin. Fine Gael’s reset strategy is not working. Nor will it.
