Various organisations conduct regular opinion polls to gauge voting intentions. Results of such polls are displayed in the lists below.
On 1 November, Coimisiún na Meán announced the lifting of the reporting moratorium that had been in place since 1997, and which had prevented election coverage from 14:00 on the day prior to the election until the close of polls. However, the agency also advised broadcasters not to report on opinion polls or exit polls while voting is underway. [1] [2]
The date range for these opinion polls is from the previous Irish general election, held on 8 February 2020, to the election being held on 29 November 2024.
