The researchers polled 2,050 adults between Jan. 8 and 10, with the figures weighted to ensure they are representative.
The findings come as the right-wing Reform challenges Keir Starmer’s incumbent Labour government in the polls and amid a live debate about deepening British involvement in Ukraine. Trump is pushing ahead with peace talks with Russia after years of conflict and has heavily signaled reduced American involvement in European security.
The research shows that Reform voters’ views on foreign policy are nuanced. “Reform voters are concerned about China, supportive of higher defence spending, and believe in the efficacy of the AUKUS security pact,” it notes.
“They are, however, reticent for the U.K. to play a larger role in world affairs, and outliers in their skepticism towards funding for Ukraine,” it adds.
Thirty-nine percent of Reform voters questioned said they would support maintaining British contributions to Ukraine at their current levels if America pulls back. That is on a par with the other main parties.
Some 41 percent of Conservatives back keeping current support levels in such a situation — while 39 percent of Labour voters say the same.
