Ireland's Election: Exit Polls Indicate Tight Three-Way Race

Counting has begun in the Irish general election, with exit polls indicating a tight race among Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, and Fianna Fáil. Sinn Féin leads slightly in first preference votes, but forming a government remains uncertain. The election sees a record 174 seats up for grabs, with the counting process expected to take several days. The current coalition partners, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, may have enough seats to return to power, while Sinn Féin seeks a path to government despite being ruled out as a coalition partner by the other major parties.

Irish Election Exit Polls Indicate Coalition Government Likely

In the Irish general election, Prime Minister Simon Harris's Fine Gael party is nearly tied with Sinn Fein, each securing around 21% of first-preference votes according to exit polls. This suggests that Harris's strategy to call an early election did not provide the anticipated advantage, with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael's coalition partner, receiving 19.5% of the votes. The exit poll has a margin of error of 1.4%.

Tight Three-Way Race in Ireland's 2024 Election Amid Key Issues

An exit poll from the Irish general election indicates a tight race among Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, and Fianna Fáil, with first preference votes at 21.1%, 21%, and 19.5% respectively. The poll, conducted by Ipsos B&A, suggests a close contest similar to the 2020 election, with no party likely to secure an outright majority. Official vote counting begins Saturday, with results expected over the weekend. The outcome could see Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil potentially forming a government with smaller parties, while Sinn Féin's path to power remains challenging.
