Labour leads as Reform UK surges in Westminster voting intention
In the latest opinion polls, Labour remains ahead, but Reform UK is rapidly gaining, overtaking the Conservatives. Growing right-wing discontent fuels Reform’s rise, while the Tories struggle to regain support under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership.
BREAKING – Labour remains in the lead with 26% in the latest Westminster voting intention poll, but Reform UK is closing in fast at 25%, according to new data from YouGov. The Conservatives trail behind at 21%, marking a significant shift in the political landscape just months ahead of a potential general election.
The data, collected through YouGov’s MRP model, suggests a steady rise in support for Reform UK, which has overtaken the Tories in recent weeks. The Liberal Democrats stand at 14%, while the Greens hold 9%.
This polling underscores a turbulent political climate, with Reform UK capitalising on growing discontent among right-leaning voters. The Conservatives, traditionally the main right-wing party, are struggling to regain lost ground even with Kemi Badenoch as their leader.
