With just days to go until polling day, the latest opinion poll shows a significant drop for Fine Gael.
This final Ispos poll for The Irish Times reveals that support for Fine Gael is down six points to 19%.
The party is now placing in third among the larger parties.
Support for Fianna Fáil, meanwhile, is up two to 21%, while Sinn Féin is up one percentage point to 20%.
Among the smaller parties, the Greens are polling at 4%, up one point.
The Labour Party is at 4%, down one.
The Social Democrats are at 6%, up two percentage points.
People Before Profit is polling at 3%, up one percentage point.
Aontú has seen no change in percentage points and is polling at 3%.
Independents, including Independent Ireland, are polling at 17%, down three percentage points.
The poll was conducted among 1,200 people between the 20th and the 23rd of November through in-home interviewing and is seen as one of the more accurate polls of the campaign.
It sets up a massive battle at the top between the three largest parties and puts more importance on the leaders' debate.
Fine Gael's Simon Harris, Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin and Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald will go head to head on Prime Time tomorrow evening.
