Reform UK Overtakes Conservatives in Opinion Poll
Former Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage's Party Surges Ahead
Polls Indicate Significant Support for Reform UK Ahead of General Election
In a fresh blow to embattled Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, a recent survey by YouGov for The Times shows that Reform UK, led by former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, has surged ahead of the Conservatives in the polls. The poll, which averaged 20 different surveys, places Reform UK at 19%, compared to the Conservatives' 18%.
This is the first time that Reform UK has overtaken the Conservatives in a national opinion poll, and it comes after a period of steady growth for the party in the polls. Reform UK has been gaining support from voters who are dissatisfied with the Conservative Party's handling of the economy, immigration, and other issues.
The poll results are a major setback for Sunak, who has been facing increasing pressure to resign as Prime Minister. The Conservatives have been struggling in the polls for months, and the latest results suggest that Reform UK is now the main challenger to the Labour Party in the upcoming general election.
