A new opinion poll in the Republic of Ireland places Sinn Féin in the top position, with support for Aontú reported at a record high, according to two outlets. The poll is published just days before the parties’ annual think-ins.

Both reports highlight the same central figures: Sinn Féin leads, and Aontú’s backing reaches its highest level since the measure began, based on the poll’s results. The outlets frame the timing of the release around the upcoming think-ins, where parties typically set out priorities and strategies for the year ahead.

While neither source provides detailed methodology in the excerpts provided, they align on the headline outcome and the significance of the pre-think-in context. The coverage does not indicate major disputes about the poll’s findings between the two outlets, focusing instead on the latest snapshot of voter support in the Republic.
