The survey, conducted on August 9 and 10 among 2,417 respondents, puts Labour on 24%, two points higher than in the August 3 poll, while Reform UK falls one point to 22%
The Labour Party of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has moved ahead of Reform UK, the right-wing party led by Nigel Farage, in a voting intention survey by YouGov published on Tuesday by The Times. It is the first time this has happened in that pollster's series since Reform took the lead in early 2025.
The survey, conducted on August 9 and 10 among 2,417 respondents, puts Labour on 24%, two points higher than in the August 3 poll, while Reform UK falls one point to 22%. The two-point gap sits at the edge of the sample's margin of error, so the change of position is not statistically conclusive.
Kemi Badenoch's Conservative Party, the main opposition force, rises two points to 21%. The Greens fall one point to 12% and the Liberal Democrats one point to 11%. All five parties are above the 10% threshold, a structural feature of the current British political landscape.
