Reform’s polling slump shows little sign of abating as the party fell to third in a new poll this week.
The latest polling from More in Common shows that a one point drop in support for Reform combined with a one point jump for the Conservative Party was enough to see the Tories jump into second.
Despite a one point drop in support for Labour, they remain top of More in Common’s polling, with a three point lead ahead of the Conservatives.
Along with this being Reform’s lowest vote share since January 2025, is it also the first time Reform have been in third place in a poll since April 2025.
This is part of an undeniable trend in the polls for Reform, who find themselves roughly ten points down on their polling peak a year ago, across almost every pollster.
YouGov’s latest polling on Wednesday saw Labour draw level with Nigel Farage’s party at the top.
This comes in the week that Reform’s party conference gets underway in Birmingham, with the party no doubt eager to try and move away from controversies surrounding them and their leader.
But this will be easier said than done for a party – and a politician – who the public seem to be increasingly weary of.
