Catherine Connolly Set to for Landslide Presidential Election Win According to New Poll
Candidates Connolly and Humphreys appeal for votes to succeed President Higgins, with Connolly leading polls and Humphreys courting Fianna Fáil supporters ahead of Friday's election.
- On Thursday, the two presidential candidates made late pushes with rallies and canvassing in Monaghan, Cork and Clare as voters across the Republic of Ireland prepare to vote on Friday.
- Connolly said a victory would send a strong message to the Irish Government, with campaigners framing the race as a call for honesty and a new beginning in Irish politics.
- Recent polls indicate a substantial lead but the 50 per cent quota matters for a first-count win; a Business Post/Red C poll placed Connolly on 44 per cent and Humphreys on 25 per cent.
- Turnout on Friday remains the decisive factor according to both campaigns, with Heather Humphreys urging centre-ground voters to back her and both candidates appealing to Fianna Fáil supporters to lend their votes.
- Connolly has received backing from Sinn Féin and smaller parties, with her campaign launching the Future Voices initiative and signalling a shift in Irish political dynamics.
