A huge poll has just dropped in Welsh Politics.
The poll from YouGov/Cardiff University suggests votes in the Senedd election will be:
- Plaid Cymru - 33%
- Reform UK - 30%
- Labour - 10%
- Conservatives - 10%
- Green - 9%
- Lib Dem - 6%
In terms of seats it would mean:
Plaid Cymru - 39
Reform UK - 34
Labour - 10
Conservatives - 6
Green - 4
Lib Dem - 3
This is absolutely damning for Labour. For detailed analysis check out the full break down in my news letter (see pinned tweet)
