OPINION POLL: Donegal Daily’s General Election poll has got tongues wagging all over Donegal – as the electorate get their first chance to show how they will vote.

The General Election will take place on February 26th – and political forecasters are saying it’s one of the hardest ever General Elections to call.

Fianna Fáil stalwart Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher currently leads our poll with 20% of the vote gaining 263 votes in total.

Next up is sitting Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty who has received 17% gaining 230 votes in total.

In third place is Independent candidate Dessie Shiels has got 14% gaining 180 votes in total.

While another Independent Tim Jackson has 10% of the votes gaining 131 votes in total.

Fine Gael’s Joe McHugh is in fifth place with 9% of the votes gaining 127 votes in total.

So at the minute the five elected would be Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher, Pearse Doherty, Tim Jackson, Dessie Shiels and Joe McHugh.

This snap-shot of our poll was taken at 4.30pm and will change – but only YOU can change it!

Our poll will close at midnight tonight so those of you who haven’t cast your vote yet – there is still time to do so.
