"The Greens are viewed more favourably than any other party in London and among younger voters, polling produced for the party has shown, with its leader, Zack Polanski, saying this showed they were on track to supplant Labour. The YouGov poll, carried out to coincide with the Greens' ongoing annual conference in Bournemouth, asked voters in England to rank the five main parties in order of how favourably they felt about them, rather than the usual metric of which they planned to vote for."
"By this measure, across England as a whole the Greens were beaten only by Reform UK in terms of the proportion who put them at the top of the list, getting 17% of first preferences. This compared with 27% for Reform, 16% for Labour, 15% for the Liberal Democrats, and the Conservatives' total of 14%. When answers from just London were taken, the Greens came top, with 27% of the first-preference choices, against 20% for Labour, 16% Reform, 15% Conservatives and 14% Lib Dems."
A YouGov poll asked voters in England to rank the five main parties by favourability rather than vote intention. Across England the Greens received 17% of first-preference favourability, second only to Reform UK on 27%. In London the Greens led with 27% first-preference favourability, ahead of Labour on 20%. Among 18-to-24-year-olds the Greens were most favoured on 36%. Nearly a quarter of those who voted for Keir Starmer last year now rank the Greens as their favourite. Greens leader Zack Polanski said defections and recent local wins, including new councillors and a Brighton victory, show growing momentum.
