Record number of Brits have unfavorable view of Nigel Farage
YouGov's tracker finds 69% of Brits have an unfavorable view of the Reform UK leader — the highest it's ever recorded.
A record proportion of British voters now view Reform UK leader Nigel Farage unfavorably, according to a YouGov poll. The 69% of Brits holding an unfavorable opinion about Farage is the highest level recorded in the past decade. Only 24% of voters expressed a favorable view of the Reform UK chief, with 57% viewing him very unfavorably, a figure not matched by any other major party leaders.
Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham, despite a slight increase in unfavorable views to 39%, still receives 46% favorable opinions. YouGov polled 2,099 adults in Great Britain between September 9 and 10. Reform UK, which made significant gains in recent local elections, is now under parliamentary investigation for an undeclared £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
Two of Farage's aides resigned pending an investigation into a donations sting. However, the party recently received a £72 million cash injection, sparking debate over political financing in the UK.
