Sinn Féin, as a whole, saw an increase in popularity as their poll figures reached 37%.
This figure places them 16 points ahead of Fine Gael, and 17 points ahead of Fianna Fail.
Fine Gael saw 21% support, and Fianna Fáil came in at 20%, according to the latest poll figures.
The Green Party is on 5%, Labour and Social Democrats came in at 3%, and People before Profit and Aontu polled at 1%.
The Independents tallied at 8% support.
The survey was conducted among 912 Irish voters between October 28 and November 9.
