The polling also showed almost half of Brits thought Trump would worsen the U.K. economy (47 percent) while 45 percent thought the president would damage Britain’s safety and security.
Nearly three in 10 (29 percent) voters also said one of the worst things about Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who achieved a successful set of local election results last week, was his closeness to Trump.
The U.S. president has repeatedly polled poorly with British voters and protests are expected ahead of his second state visit.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has repeatedly stressed his government would not choose between good relations with the U.S. or EU, while the White House is poised to announce a trade agreement with Britain on Thursday.
However, the report showed 62 percent of all Britons, including two-thirds (67 percent) of Labour’s 2024 voters and 60 percent of Labour Leave voters, backed joining forces with the EU against “unpredictable partners” in a forced choice against doubling down on U.S. relations.
Exactly half (50 percent) of Labour to Reform UK switchers saw the EU as the U.K.’s most trustworthy ally, with 75 percent of them supporting “some” or “a lot” of cooperation on trade and the economy.
