Reform tops Spectator poll tracker

Nigel Farage’s Reform party are now out in front at the top of The Spectator data hub’s poll tracker. The latest update to our poll of polls puts Reform one point above Labour – on average – at 25 per cent of the vote with the Tories in third place at 22 per cent. 

A flurry of polls in the last couple of weeks show continued decline in support for the Tories with nearly all of the benefits going to Reform. Meanwhile, support has continued to slip away from the Labour party. The result: Reform on top. 

The poll that tipped them over the top came from FindOutNow who surveyed some 2,487 British adults yesterday and gave Reform a four point lead. It followed a poll for YouGov via Sky News earlier in the week of 2,223 British adults on 2 and 3 February which found Reform climbing two points while Labour fell by three and Kemi Badenoch’s Tories dropped a point. 

With Britain edging closer to a fiscal crisis that seems will almost inevitably lead to tax rises and spending cuts and more and  more voters agreeing with Farage on immigration and the issues of the day, it’s fair to ask just how high Reform might climb. Watch this space.
