Reform UK surges to highest-ever rating in polls, new survey suggests
Poll sees Reform UK take nine-point lead over Labour
- An Ipsos poll indicates Reform UK has a significant nine-point lead over Labour, with 34 per cent of the vote share compared to Labour’s 25 per cent.
- The survey also shows the Conservatives at a record low of 15 per cent, marking their lowest ever result recorded by Ipsos and Reform's highest.
- The poll suggests a potential scenario where Nigel Farage could become prime minister if a general election were held immediately, though the next election is not expected until 2028.
- Labour's popularity has significantly declined, with only 19 per cent of respondents satisfied with Sir Keir Starmer's performance, and a high proportion of Labour and Tory voters defecting to Reform.
- Reform UK recently experienced internal turmoil with the resignation of chairman Zia Yusuf following a dispute involving new MP Sarah Pochin.
