In an unprecedented shift in British politics, Reform UK has overtaken the Conservative Party for the first time in a new YouGov poll commissioned by The Times. The poll places Nigel Farage’s party at 19%, edging ahead of the Conservatives, who are at 18%.
This development comes in the wake of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s launch of the Conservative manifesto earlier this week. The data indicate a significant movement in voter sentiment, with Reform UK up two points from the previous survey. Meanwhile, Labour, the Liberal Democrats, and the Green Party have each seen a decline of one point in their support.
