It's Fine Gael's worst Red C/Business Post result since the polls began back in 2005.
The Green Party and the Labour Party both moved up a point each to 5 percent and 4 percent respecitvely.
Sinn Féin remain the most popular party in the country, though Mary Lou McDonald's party has also dropped one point to 35 per cent.
Other alarming findings from the poll include the fact that around 70% of voters are now struggling to make ends meet due to the cost of living.
Only 26 percent of respondents believe that the Government is doing all it can to help people with the costs.
On Friday Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said this month’s budget will “significantly soften the blow” of the soaring cost of living as he suggested there may be a pay boost both before and after Christmas to cope with rising energy costs.
The Fine Gael TDs said he was shocked by how many people were “very worried about their bills” while he was out speaking to locals in Kilkenny.
Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, he said: “I can give them the reassurance that the Government is going to help them.
“We’re here to help, we’re here to make sure that we can soften the blow significantly of the rising cost of living.”
