Poll: Will you vote based on economic issues?

COINED DURING BILL Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential election by strategist James Carville as one of three pithy phrases to keep campaign staff on message, “the economy, stupid” has become a byword for conventional political wisdom.
With a polling date set for Saturday February 8, Ireland’s political parties are about to find out if the maxim still holds.
