🤝 AP — 12
🔷 UUP — 10

There's a tightening battle within unionism as the TUV reel in the DUP.

Alliance and Sinn Féin are also on the slide, with the Greens and SDLP ticking up.

Our current Nowcast for the Senedd 2026 election.
➡️ Ref — 37
🌼 PC — 28
🌹 Lab — 21
🌳 Con — 5
🐤 LD — 3
🌱 GP — 2

There have been no polls since Plaid's convincing victory in Caerphilly so we can't see if it's had a broader effect.

We've launched a new way of understanding polling error in Wales.

We run the Senedd election 1000x with realistic polling errors and regionalised swings.

It tracks parties, individual seats and ideologies.

We'll update it regularly to show changes.

Want to see the range of possible outcomes at the next NI Assembly election if the polls aren't perfect?

We regularly run 1000 simulations to see how likely it is that each party wins their target seats.

Wales, Scotland and London are in the works.

Not all of these outcomes are equally likely and we only allow variation within the margin of error (about 2.5%).

There are some surprising outcomes that need small, but very specific, polling misses.

Scotland update:
We all know polls are not perfect, so we've added a new preset to help visualise the uncertainty of polling.

Below are some outcomes that are just a normal polling miss away based on current numbers

The numbers change with every click

We've added a new Margin of Error preset to our Northern Ireland projection!

It creates random votes share near the Nowcast so you can see what could happen with a normal polling miss.

Just click it again for a different scenario.

Graham Simpson (Central Region) defects from Conservative to Reform becoming their only MSP.

He's likely to hold a seat in the new region of Central and Lothians West.

Thanks, and no offence taken! We know they did badly before but a lot has changed - Labour's collapse mainly.

The projection from this poll has it a three way tie, all on very low shares (which does feel harsh on Labour).

Reform are a bit further back in our Nowcast average.
July 31, 2025 at 9:48 AM
We'll be ready!
July 31, 2025 at 9:32 AM
These numbers are very similar to the recent by-election results in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.

It puts Reform within 3% of winning in all three border seats.

In Scotland, Your Party could win list seats in most/all regions. They could cost Labour some constituency seats and possibly tip some Tory-SNP maginals over the line for the Conservatives.

This would all equalise on the list.
July 25, 2025 at 8:39 AM
In Wales, they could get 2 seats but could cost Labour 5! Reform and the Tories grabbing some 6th seats as the left splits.
July 25, 2025 at 8:39 AM
Following the announcement of 'Your Party' yesterday we've started adding them to our projection. It's not live yet but here are some early findings.

Using ratios from some hypotheticals polls - Your Party would enter the Senedd (8 seats) and Holyrood (2) next year.
July 25, 2025 at 8:39 AM
Laura Anne Jones defects to from Conservative to Reform giving them their first MS.

Our Nowcast has Reform winning 2 in the new Sir Fynwy Torfaen constituency which overlaps with Jones' current seat, the Conservatives projected to win 1.

Labour 2, Plaid Cymru 1.

And that no changes are planned to Northern Ireland's photo ID restrictions which are already far stricter than those in GB.

An Australian or Indian passport doesn't count as valid ID for a commonwealth citizen.
