Ireland Thinks/Sunday Independent asks whether people are satisfied or dissatisfied with each leader's performance, but only publishes the satisfied % — no dissatisfied breakdown is shown here because none has been published to verify. "Weighted avg" is satisfaction averaged across 9 real readings with a 3-month recency half-life (weighted by actual elapsed time between polls, since this series isn't evenly spaced), so it's less sensitive to any single reading's noise than the latest figure alone.

A separate, one-off Business Post/Red C, via Irish Examiner favourability reading (May 2026) scored Ivana Bacik 38/100 — a different question and scale, not directly comparable to the satisfaction % above, shown here only because it's the one other real reading found for this leader.

% satisfied with Ivana Bacik's performance. Solid dots are each real poll's actual reading; the dashed line is a 3-month recency-weighted average (weighted by real elapsed time, not by reading count) with a shaded ±— pp margin-of-error band. These are the 9 real, individually-sourced readings found since January 2025 — coverage of this specific question is uneven, so gaps of several months between points are real gaps in available reporting, not missing data on this site's part.
