Key Finding: The decline is broadest among Reform's core demographic

The largest absolute declines in Reform UK support are concentrated among the groups that drove their rise: older men without degrees in the North and Midlands. The 55+ demographic has fallen 23pp from peak; non-graduates have fallen 20–23pp. This is not a peripheral softening — it is a collapse at the core of Reform's coalition.
