This marks a significant decline of 10 points in two weeks, signaling potential challenges for his Reform UK party.

According to More in Common polling, his personal approval has fallen by 10 points in two weeks, reaching -32. This decline comes amid challenges for Reform UK, which relies heavily on Farage's influence.
