DUBLIN - Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar’s approval rating has jumped sharply as voters back his government’s approach on Brexit ahead of a parliamentary election he wants to hold in May, a poll showed on Tuesday.
The centre-right party chose Varadkar as leader in 2016 based on his personal appeal and hope a Brexit deal, which would leave Irish businesses less exposed to turmoil than a disorderly exit, could boost his credentials at the election. The survey did not detail specific points on the strategy in Ireland, whose seamless border with British-run Northern Ireland has been at the centre of the Brexit impasse. Varadkar insists it must remain fully open once Britain leaves the bloc.
