Yes it is a real poll. Irish Times, I believe, not out until 2moro but accurate nonetheless.
What happened to those "very positive canvass reports" you were telling us about last Friday night? What happened to your claim that the people were getting tired of the Opposition being unpatriotic by attacking Cowen and FF? What happened to your "soon to be published" polls that had FF ahead of FG?I only hope we do not loose heart and knock on the doors to face the anger and fear of the voters .I believe we can turn this around, but we are going to suffer in the local and European elections .

Unfortunatly, it is beyond a globel crisis, and the nationalisation of Anglo Irish bank, the recapitalisation programme, and the disapearence of Dell and Waterford Crystal articulate this. Problem is, FF have been reticent to suggest any solution beyond those which a just about keeping us aflot. An example of this is the 2 Billion. It is not nearly enough. Money needs to come from somewhere, and we are suffering from the decision to maintain ownership of some of the "family silver". Cowen needs to accept advice, and the "My Way" attitude cannot be tolerated.The poll is correct and the result is not good for the party .
The Government parties throughout Europe are suffering the same effect of this global economic crisis and there is little we can do to change that .
People are frightened and the most natural think to do is blame the Government and that is the correct thing to do . After all we are in power and people expect us to have solutions . The situation is going to get a lot worse but I only hope that people will see that we are not totally to blame for the situation .
It is now up to the opposition to show they have solutions if they don't the voters will realise that no matter who is in Government we will just have to knuckle down and ride throught this global economic crisis .
FF will come out fighting and posters will have to admit that our machine when it is in full flow is a formidable fighting machine .
I only hope we do not loose heart and knock on the doors to face the anger and fear of the voters .I believe we can turn this around, but we are going to suffer in the local and European elections .
Ok now we know you are just kidding.Although Bev has the makings of a good leader cometh the time. Most of the criticism of her was hypocritical.
