Reform falls to third place in the polls as Tories feel Badenoch bounce
YouGov said the Conservatives gained 3 points after their party conference, while Labour led by 1 point and Reform fell to third.
- A YouGov poll released Tuesday shows the Conservatives rising to 23% support, overtaking Reform UK, which dropped to 21% in the latest Westminster voting intention survey conducted October 11-12.
- Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch secured the three-point boost following her Birmingham conference speech, where she pledged to let voters "keep more of what they earn" by abolishing inheritance tax on family homes.
- YouGov data shows 69% of Britons hold an unfavourable opinion of Reform leader Nigel Farage, the highest figure recorded in a decade, as Farage faces declining support amid ongoing party scandals.
- If replicated in a general election, polling aggregator PollCheck estimates Labour would win 244 seats, the Conservatives 167, and Reform 85 seats.
- According to More in Common's Luke Tryl, polling volatility should be seen as "a further warning of risks of a snap election," with the "conference bounce" playing a key role.
