If 36% say they'd likely vote Reform why is that not showing in the polling figures nationally?

It's reported in the Telegraph Tory and Reform aides are discussing 'uniting the right'...why are they discussing pacts if they could get 36%?

When we're these polling intentions gathered?

Hi Elizabeth! The figures show who people could currently see themselves potentially voting for. So more voters overall are currently open to voting Reform than anyone else, but may not intend to right now or haven't yet made their mind up.

In terms of a 'unite the right' deal being done it looks like that's exclusively being put forward by panicking Tories now that they are third in pretty much every poll! They will probably have another leadership challenge before the next General Election.

It's very likely that the numbers for Reform are even better than they look. As I've mentioned before, there are many of us who never get asked for our opinions, so we don't figure in the poll numbers.

If these numbers keep growing the talk of a pact with the cons will evaporate.
