A new opinion poll shows Fianna Fáil is again the most popular party in the country. 

The Millward Brown Poll in tomorrow's Sunday Independent gives them a four point lead over Fine Gael. 

In this poll Fianna Fáil climbs to 29 per cent, six points more than the last comparable poll in the Sunday Independent two weeks ago.

This puts the party back as the most popular in the country, a position it held in the Millward Brown Poll a month ago. 

Fine Gael is on 25 per cent, a point up on two weeks ago. 

But for coalition partners Labour, a result of 9 per cent is down two points and it is the first time the party has been below double digits since going into government. 

Sinn Féin also sees its support drop this month. They are down a point to 20 per cent, while others are down three to 16 per cent. 

Three quarters of voters are disatisfied with the coalition with just one fifth happy with the government's performance. 

Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore has a disatisfaction rating of 69 per cent and almost two-fifths of Labour supports are not happy with him. 

And half of voters want a brand new political party.
