Bombshell poll sees Reform UK slump to third place behind Labour and Tories
Support for the Reform leader and his party continues to wane
Reform UK has fallen into third place behind Labour and the Tories according to a shock new poll by More in Common.
The More in Common survey revealed that Labour is in the lead with 26%, while the Tories are on 23% and Reform is trailing behind on 22%.
It is Reform’s lowest vote share since January 2025, and marks the first time in 18 months that the Tories have overtaken Reform UK in the polls.
It also puts Reform 10 points below their peak last autumn.
The poll will come as a major blow to Reform as the party prepares to hold its annual party conference from tomorrow until Saturday 5 September.
A survey by YouGov published yesterday also found that just 19% of voters see Farage as a prime minister in waiting.
More voters said they view Kemi Badenoch as a prime minister in waiting than Farage.
A total of 71% of Brits also used at least one negative term to refer to Farage, with the most frequent being accusations that he is a racist (used by 15%) and a liar (12%).
Farage’s favourability rating is also down to -44, from its peak of -27 last summer.
Amid the scandal of Farage’s undeclared £5 million donation and scrutiny of donations that Reform received from convicted fraudster George Cottrrell, support for the Reform leader and his party is now starting to wane.
