POLL OF THE DAY: Have Reform already hit peak recognition, as polls professional suggests?

Reform may have reached its popularity limit, a polling expert has said.

Support for Nigel Farage‘s party has cooled in recent weeks, with 29 per cent of voters saying they would back it at the next election. This is a drop from 32 per cent at Reform’s polling peak.

The Conservatives are ticking upwards in the polls, with 19 per cent saying they would support them despite a series of high-profile defections to Reform.

But Sir John Curtice, a leading political scientist, says he imagines 32 per cent is ‘the height of what Reform can achieve’ because its vote is a ‘very, very niche market’.

Sir John also said the two parties would have to evaluate by 2027 or 2028 ‘whether or not one or other of them has succeeded in winning this battle on the Right, or whether indeed it’s in their respective interest to come to an accommodation’.

Mr Farage branded Sir John ‘wrong on both counts’ – on Reform hitting its peak, and potentially having to consider a pact with the Tories. 

But what do you think – can Reform’s popularity still grow? Have your say in the Daily Mail’s latest poll:

In yesterday’s poll, Mail readers were asked: ‘Should Starmer take credit for Trump dropping his Greenland tariffs threat?‘ Out of more than 11,000 votes, 92 per cent of you said ‘no’ and 8 per cent said ‘yes’.
