Labour support rises in poll despite tax controversy over Reeves' Budget

independent.co.uk

Labour's support has increased to 30% in a recent poll, its highest since early October, despite criticism of Rachel Reeves' tax-raising Budget. The Conservative Party remains at 24%, while Reform UK has dropped to 18%. Reeves' Budget has shifted the news focus away from allegations against Keir Starmer's government. The poll indicates a slight rise in public trust in the government, now at 32%. Older voters continue to favor the Conservatives, with Reform UK closely trailing Labour among pensioners. Additionally, 26% of those who voted Labour in July are now hesitant to support the party again.
