The finding — in a survey of 2,000 Brits — comes after Musk said Farage “doesn’t have what it takes” and should be replaced as Reform leader.
That’s despite Farage, who enraged Musk by distancing himself from the imprisoned far-right, anti-immigration agitator Tommy Robinson, working hard to win Musk’s support.
Voters across all parties backed Farage’s decision to break with Musk over Robinson, with 50 percent agreeing the co-founder of the race-baiting English Defence League shouldn’t be allowed to join Reform, and just 12 percent thinking it was the wrong decision for Farage to say so.
Among Farage’s own Reform UK voters, the polling showed 57 percent back the leader’s move, compared to 21 percent who thought rejecting Robinson was incorrect.
Across the general public, Robinson himself — currently in jail for breaching a court order after he repeatedly libelled a Syrian schoolboy — has a net favorability rating of -34. Among Reform voters, his net rating is +5.
