Just 55 Percent of 2019 Conservative Voters Lean Towards Tories, With Many Swinging to Reform: Poll

A recent poll has indicated a significant shift in Tory voters’ attitudes, with just 55 percent of 2019 Conservative supporters now leaning towards supporting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s party, and 15 percent planning to back Reform UK.

Despite Labour’s 20-point national poll lead, only 13 percent of respondents intend to support Sir Keir Starmer’s party. This trend poses a potential challenge for Labour in retaining Red Wall constituencies, historically loyal but unexpectedly siding with the Tories in 2019.
