Farage's approval rating hits post-election low amid Reform UK slump
HuffPost — Politics—Nigel Farage's approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since the last general election, according to new polling covered by the Independent, marking a reversal for the Reform UK leader after a period of rising public support. The Independent doesn't specify what's driving the slide — whether a specific controversy, economic dissatisfaction, or normal post-election drift — leaving the cause of the drop unclear. Farage has built Reform UK's momentum largely on immigration and anti-establishment messaging, so a sustained approval decline would be notable if it reflects erosion of that core appeal rather than a single bad news cycle. No comparison polling from rival UK parties is cited alongside the figure.
