This represents a sharp decline in male support for the Conservative Party, which won 47 per cent of all male votes in the 2019 general election.

The poll also found that the Reform Party currently leads the Conservatives in the Redwall seat. The Redwall seat is a Midlands and northern constituency that has traditionally voted Labour, but backed Boris Johnson in 2019 to “get Brexit done”. According to the survey, the Conservatives currently have 17% support in these seats, compared to 18%.
