Nigel Farage’s Reform Party surpasses the Tories in election poll

Whether it was Rishi Sunak’s ‘Haribo and Twix diet’ or his manifesto launch, the Tories have dropped to third place in the polls.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has overtaken the Conservatives for the first time, a few days after taking over as leader.

A YouGov survey finds backing for his party is at 19%, one point above the Tories, the Times reported.

It is the first time any poll has shown Reform on second place, just after Labour who are currently at 37%.

The Conservatives are currently at 18%, while the Lib Dems follow behind with 14%.

The latest poll changes come after an audience member at last night’s Sky News interviews described Sunak as ‘a defeated man’.
