Housing the top issue with voters when asked what they have noticed about what the Government is doing

Over one fifth of voters named housing when they are asked what they had noticed about what the Government has done in the last month, and whether they thought it pushed the country in the right or wrong direction. The enduring strength of the housing issue in surveys – which have been conducted by Ipsos every month since last summer and have appeared on the last Monday of every month in The Irish Times since January of this year – suggests that its prominence as a political issue will remain undimmed as the general election approaches.

Though prominent in people’s perceptions, immigration has declined from earlier this year when almost a quarter of people were citing it as the issue they had noticed most. The new survey asks more than 1,000 respondents the following question: “What have you come across in what the Government has said or done recently that has made you think the country is going in the right or wrong direction?”
