  Support for Government down 28 points to just 18%

  Support for the Government has fallen dramatically in recent months, according to a new opinion poll out this morning. The TNS/mrbi survey in the Irish Times puts the coalition's satisfaction rating at just 18%, down 28 points since the last poll in June.
  
  Fianna Fáil's support is down 15 points to 27%, while Fine Gael is up 11 points to 34% and Labour is down one point to 14%.
  
  Sinn Féin's support is unchanged at 8% and the Greens are down one point to 4%.
  
  Elsewhere, the poll also found that Labour's Eamon Gilmore is the most popular party leader with a 38% satisfaction rating.
  
  Fine Gael's Enda Kenny (33%) is now more popular than Brian Cowen, whose support is down 21 points to 26%.
  
  Green Party leader John Gormley has also seen his popularity fall 12 points to 28%, while Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams is down 12 points to 33%.
