A Plaid Cymru spokesperson said:
“This poll reflects what we’re hearing on the doorstep the length and breadth of Wales in the final days of the campaign. People are making up their minds, and they are deciding to vote Plaid Cymru.
“That’s because they know Plaid Cymru is the best way to stand up for fairness for Wales – from the billions owed in HS2 to power over our natural resources. They know that Plaid Cymru will give Wales the new leadership it needs to improve our NHS, tackle the cost of living with our generous childcare offer and unlock our economy’s potential.
“And they know that only Plaid Cymru can stop billionaire backed Reform from taking Wales backwards.
“This poll shows that there is real momentum behind Plaid and that we can win, but with just days to go, nothing can be taken for granted. We are within touching distance of forming the next government, and every vote will help decide the future of Wales.
“Momentum alone won’t deliver change. If you want to stop Reform and choose hope, ambition, and a government that puts Wales first, that change can only come by voting Plaid Cymru on May 7.”
