Reform UK has surged ahead of the Tories and is now just three points behind Labour, a new poll has shown.
The research by Survation found Nigel Farage’s party were backed by 24 per cent of voters, which was up four percentage points from a survey last month.
The Tories slumped three points to 22 per cent in the latest poll, while Labour were also down three points to 27 per cent.
With fewer than half of the electorate currently intending to vote for one of the two main parties, the pollster said this represented an ‘historic low’.
‘The electorate is fragmented, with disillusioned voters seeking alternatives beyond the two main parties,’ said Survation’s strategy and research manager Jack Peacock.
The survey found, alongside Reform, other smaller parties were also capitalising on voter discontent.
The Liberal Democrats were on 13 per cent support, up two points, while the Greens and SNP were both up one point on 8 per cent and three per cent, respectively.
After a turbulent first six months in power, the pollster said Labour was struggling to hold on to those who backed the party in July. Image
