Support for the Lisbon Treaty has increased significantly since January, but there are still a large number of undecided voters, according to the findings of the latest Irish Times/TNS mrbi poll.
The poll showed that 35 per cent of voters intend to vote Yes, up nine points since the last Irish Timespoll at the end of January, while the number intending to vote No is 18 per cent, up eight points.
However, 47 per cent of voters either don’t know how they will vote in the referendum on June 12th, or say they won’t vote. This compares with 64 per cent who were in the don’t know category in January.
The poll was conducted last Monday and Tuesday among a representative sample of 1,000 voters in face-to-face interviews at 100 sampling points in all 43 constituencies.
The result clearly reflects the urgency that has been injected into the Yes campaign since Brian Cowen took over as Taoiseach ten days ago.
