Reform’s bubble has been burst, after the post election spike in its popularity in the polls came to a quick end in the latest poll.
After Nigel Farage’s party gained hundreds of seats in the local elections two weeks ago, the Reform leader was quick to declare the ‘end of the two party system’, however Reform’s not quite as popular as Nigel Farage would have you believe.
Last week, a poll from YouGov saw the party record a three-point jump in support in polling of voting intention, taking them to 28%.
However, that jump in support was short lived. According to YouGov’s polling this week, Reform’s support dropped by three points, leaving them back on 25%. Meanwhile, Labour gained in support by 1 percentage point, going up to 17 points. The Greens meanwhile are on 15%, while the Lib Dems are on 14%.
The drop in support comes as Reform continues making the headlines for all the wrong reasons, with hundreds of candidates caught up in scandals over past racist and bigoted remarks.
Farage himself continues to face questions over the £5million gift he recieved from a crypto billonaire which he failed to disclose and is facing a Parliamentary probe over.
