Nigel Farage has stormed into the lead in Reform's "top priority" election race ahead of next year's Welsh Parliament Election.
Farage, who is setting his sights on victory in Wales after widespread victory the 2025 Local Elections, was handed a major campaign boost after Find Out Now put Reform's support at 29 per cent.
The party is just two-points ahead of Plaid Cymru on 27 per cent, with Labour being reduced to its lowest level of support on 18 per cent.
Tory support is 14-points down compared to the 2021 Welsh Parliament Election on just 11 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats and Greens tied on seven per cent.

The Senedd (Welsh parliament)
PAFollowing the formation of the Senedd, Labour secured 35.4 per cent of the vote in the 1999 Welsh Parliament Election and has never before seen its support fall below 30 per cent.
Meanwhile, the Welsh Conservatives peaked at 26 per cent at the height of Boris Johnson's popularity in 2021.
Unlike in Scotland, Farage has had success in Wales, securing seven seats with 12.5 per cent of the vote in 2016.
However, with Wales's voting system soon to become even more proportionate, 29 per cent opens the door to a large number of Reform MSs taking seats in Cardiff Bay.

Farage has previously ruled out being a candidate in next year's elections, and does not have a long term plan to be the party's leader in Wales.
Under the Welsh Parliament's rules, an MP from any party must stand down from their role in Westminster to stand in the Senedd.
He told ITV News: "The national elections in Wales are our priority. We intend to come first... we're going to fight to win."
Llyr Powell, who has been in charge of the party's communications in Wales, told the BBC: "The leader of the party is Nigel Farage, but in Wales there are a lot of people who will be standing as candidates in the next election."
Powell dismissed claims when pressed if Reform would have a leader for the Senedd election, saying: "In the next election people will be able to see who stands, but words like 'leader in Wales' are just a distraction.
"At the moment, there's no one we're going to appoint as the leader of the party [in Wales]."
Reform chair in the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend Caroline Jones said she was "looking forward to the Senedd elections" adding that "we will do very, very well."
