Nearly half of Reform UK voters say they’re Pro-Trump, even as two-thirds of Brits reject him
A new YouGov poll reveals a stark divide in British attitudes toward US President Donald Trump, with nearly half of Reform UK voters identifying as pro-Trump, standing in sharp contrast to the broader public, where two-thirds reject him outright.
The survey, published on Monday (9 March) found that just 13% of Brits overall describe themselves as pro-Trump, while a commanding 67% say they are anti-Trump (including 56% who are “very” anti-Trump). Another 16% claim neutrality, neither pro nor anti.
Reform UK supporters emerge as clear outliers on this issue. Among those who backed the party in the 2024 general election, 46% describe themselves as pro-Trump, while only 24% identify as anti-Trump.
This makes Reform voters the only major group where pro-Trump sentiment dominates, bucking the trend seen across other parties.
For comparison:
- 89% of Liberal Democrat voters are anti-Trump.
- 85% of Labour voters hold anti-Trump views.
- 82% of Green voters are anti-Trump.
- 61% of Conservative voters say they are anti-Trump.
Britsalso perceive Reform UK as the most pro-Trump party in UK politics. 70% of the public view Nigel Farage’s party as supportive of Trump, with just 8% seeing it as neutral or critical.
The Conservatives trail far behind, with 35% viewing them as pro-Trump, 13% as anti-Trump, and 23% as neutral or without a clear stance.
Labour draws more mixed perceptions. 36% see the party as anti-Trump, 21% as pro-Trump, and 19% as neutral. The Greens and Lib Dems are widely seen as anti-Trump (56% and 48%, respectively), with negligible numbers viewing either as pro-Trump.
The findings underscore Reform UK’s unique positioning in British politics, where alignment with Trump, often linked to shared populist rhetoric on immigration, national sovereignty, and scepticism of establishment institutions, appears to resonate strongly with its base. Leader Nigel Farage has long maintained a public friendship with Trump, a connection that has drawn both support and criticism.
By comparison, Trump’s broader unpopularity in the UK remains entrenched. Recent YouGov trackers show his favourability hovering around 13-16% positive in early 2026, with unfavourable views consistently in the 80%+ range across multiple polls.
This reflects longstanding British scepticism toward Trump’s style and policies, amplified by events during his presidencies and state visits.
