Opinium Poll: Reform extends lead as Starmer's unpopularity persists and Labour leadership questioned
Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
New polling from Opinium (3rd June 2026) shows Reform extending its lead in voting intention while Keir Starmer remains deeply unpopular. Voters are skeptical about Labour's current leadership, with Tony Blair viewed more favorably than today's Labour figures. Many struggle to identify a clear successor who could reverse the party's fortunes. The polling also reveals growing support for electoral reform, concerns about wealthy donors' influence in politics, and a fragmented political landscape where many voters feel unrepresented.
