A new opinion poll shows support for the Lisbon Treaty has consolidated since the last comparable poll in February.
The TNS/mrbi poll in tomorrow’s Irish Times asked 2,000 people at 200 locations how they would vote in a new referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in light of the commitment to allow Ireland retain its EU Commissioner and with legal guarantees on concerns such as neutrality, abortion and taxation.
Of those surveyed, 52% said they would vote yes, 29% said they would vote no and 19% said they did not know.
When the don't knows are excluded, support for the treaty stands at 64.5% with 35.5% opposed to it.
