Reform UK is turning heads this April, with new opinion polls showing Nigel Farage’s party edging ahead just weeks before the Runcorn by-election. According to the latest from Find Out Now, Reform is leading Labour by a solid 6 points — 28% to 22% — while the Conservatives have slumped to third on just 20%. It’s a marked improvement from the last poll, which only gave Reform a narrow 2-point lead.
Techne’s polling paints a slightly different picture, with Reform and Labour tied at 24%. Even so, that’s a shift from Labour’s previous 1-point lead and suggests recent controversy around Rupert Lowe hasn’t done much to damage Reform’s standing. If anything, the party appears to be gaining momentum and is expected to do well in May’s local elections, with Runcorn looking like a potential breakthrough, reported the Express.
