    For all the talk of a Reform surge, this has to strongly indicate that they’re near their peak. For a comparable datapoint from history, Labour held a polling lead from 2010 to mid 2015 over the Conservatives, but Milliband never out-polled Cameron on “best PM” questions, Cameron then of course went on to win the 2015 GE.

      Farage is getting disturbingly high figures for someone who’s such an obvious grifter

        It is deeply unsettling that anyone can look at him and see anything but a wrong 'un. All I can do is hope others are right that his support is hitting a plateau.

    I am jealous that only 25-30% of the UK seems to be criminally insane. We’re around 48-51% of voters here in the states.

    Interesting set of data. The loser always gets around mid-20s but the winner move depending on the loser. So it was all about the “Don’t knows” making up their mind in certain conditions.

    Makes me think the responses were:

    • Starmer Vs Farage: Oh fuck, Starmer, no contest
    • Starmer Vs Davey: Meh!

    Another point, Farage lost to everyone else.
