As the new Labour government continues to struggle with voters, support for Reform UK only seems to be growing. New survey results released today by pollsters Find Out Now sees Nigel Farage’s party top the charts – beating both its Tory and Labour rivals. Talk about moving into pole position, eh?
The new data – taken from a sample of 2,380 adults quizzed on Wednesday – shows 26 per cent of Brits back Reform UK, an increase of one percentage point since the 15 January. Coming second to the Farage-founded group is the Conservative party, with Kemi Badenoch’s boys in blue on 23 per cent. Meanwhile, in yet another set of poor poll results, Labour trails in third place on 22 per cent. The Starmtroopers just can’t catch a break these days…
Analysis by the pollsters suggests that Reform has not only managed to retain all of its general election support, but has enticed voters in from other parties. In fact, according to Find Out Now, Farage's party has won over a fifth of 2024 Tory supporters and just under 10 per cent of those who backed Labour last year. And almost half of those who didn't vote in the July poll – but who say that would 'definitely vote' this time – have been won over by Reform UK. How very interesting…
A jubilant Farage has taken to Twitter to celebrate the results, tweeting excitedly: 'This is just the beginning.' Mr S would remind readers that this is just one survey whose results have not yet been replicated by other pollsters – but it will certainly worry Sir Keir Starmer's army as it struggles into its seventh month in power with an unpopular leader and even more unpopular policies. Will Reform's popularity continue to surge? Stay tuned…
