Cowen 'Should Quit' Says Poll
More than half the Irish voters questioned in a new poll on the controversy over Taoiseach Brian Cowen's Morning Ireland 'hangover' interview want him to quit.
The new survey also showed that 71% of voters believe he has lost credibility as a result.
However, an even larger majority said they would not change their voting intentions.
The Millward Brown Lansdowne poll for TV3 News shows that a majority, 56%, believe the controversy over last week's interview with Mr Cowen does not matter and 88% say it will not change their voting intentions.
But, of the 1,000 voters nationwide who were questioned on Tuesday and Wednesday for the poll, 40% said Mr Cowen should continue as Taoiseach, while 52% said he should not.
