The party continues to climb in the poll.

Sinn Fein is now almost as popular as Fine Gael and Fianna Fail combined.

Figures in a new poll for the Sunday Times show Mary Lou McDonald's party surging by 6 points to 37 percent approval.

Fianna Fail have slipped three points to 20 percent, with coalition partners Fine Gael remaining unchanged 21 and the Green Party also unchanged at 5.

That means that combined FF and FG have 41 percent support.

Which leaves SF just 4 points short of equalling the two Government parties put together.

It's the highest position SF have gotten since the coalition government took office.

Leader Mary Lou McDonald is also doing well in terms of public satisfaction.

She's at 50 per cent, and nine points clear of Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach.
