Support for Fianna Fail has increased by five percent in the latest Red C/ Sunday Business Post poll.
This poll, carried out a day after Bertie Ahern's shock announcement that he will resign on the 6th of May, shows an increase in support for Fianna Fáil of five percent to 40.
The poll comes as Tanaiste Brian Cowen prepares to take over the reigns from Bertie Ahern who will leave office in a matter of weeks.
Fine Gael is down two to 28% while Labour is unchanged at 11.
The Greens are up one to nine while Sinn Féin and the Independents are down three and two points respectively.
Those surveyed were also asked who would make a better Taoiseach.
63% said Brian Cowen while just 24% chose Enda Kenny.
Meanwhile 31% said they didn't want Bertie Ahern to resign but felt he had no option.
20% said they wanted Mr Ahern to go.
