"Support is exploding among young gen Z 18-25 voters," he told an audience in Runcorn, Cheshire, yesterday. "Something remarkable is happening out there. There's an awakening in a younger generation who have had enough of being dictated to, have had enough of being lectured to, and they're seeing through the BS they're getting in schools and universities."
Reform backers are sometimes thought of as even older than Tory voters. But recent polling shows that Farage's party is actually attracting more younger supporters than the Conservatives, with particular backing among young men. According to the latest Survation survey, Reform is backed by 12% of younger people, compared with 2% of 18- to 24-yearolds opting for the Tories. The most recent YouGov poll has Reform on 15% among 18- to 24-year-olds and the Conservatives on 7%.
The polls suggest Reform's decision to target younger voters is deliberate and its strategy of engaging with them on social media appears to be paying off.
