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.

And yet only 2% on Davey.

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.

Starmer is bad.
But literally our best option.

Unfortunately. Americanism is starting to infect our culture here like a plague

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:
Another point, Farage lost to everyone else.
