Support for Reform UK has dipped to a record low, according to the latest public opinion data.

The poll, conducted by Find Out Now, surveyed 2,381 adults across Great Britain on October 21 and 22.

It found that Reform UK’s share of the vote has declined, although the exact percentage was not specified.

The poll was weighted to be nationally representative by gender, age, region, ethnicity, and 2024 general election vote.

Respondents were asked how likely they would be to vote if a general election were called, and only those who said they were "definitely" or "very likely" to vote were included in the final calculation.

Those who answered "don’t know" were prompted a second time.

If they still did not indicate a preference, they were excluded from the final results.

The poll also excluded respondents who did not vote in the last general election unless they said they were "definitely" planning to vote this time.

Find Out Now said: "Due to the margin of error (the statistical range within which the true result is likely to fall, usually 2-3% for polls), small week-on-week changes in results may be caused more by random sampling variation, rather than reflect genuine shifts in public opinion.

"Presenting the results as a rolling average evens out week-on-week distortions."
