The same polling, conducted between XX and XX, saw a bombshell 21 per cent of people say they'd vote for the Reform Party.
While just 15 per cent said they would vote Conservative.
A total of 40 per cent said they would back the Conservatives at the General Election.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The Lib Dems and the Green Party both had nine per cent support, while the SNP was on two per cent backing.
PRofessor Matt Goodwin said the figures are a "worrying sign" for the Tory party.
He explained: "This will ring very loud alarm bells in Conservative Party headquarters.
"Furthermore, the fact that even one quarter of CONSERVATIVE voters think the party should be completely replaced is a worrying sign.
"Only one in twenty voters, and not even one in five 2019 Tories think the Conservative Party should continue in its current form.
"This provides the backdrop to the inevitable leadership election campaign that will commence if and when Rishi Sunak loses the 2024 general election".
Speaking about the voting intention polling, Goodwin said: "Consistent with other polls we have a strong Labour lead, though unlike other recent polls we have Reform in second place, though down 3-points on last week, and the Conservatives once again on 15 per cent.
"In recent days, regarding Reform, the polls have been mixed with a high of 19 per cent with Redfield and Wilton and a low of 14 per cent with other pollsters.
"A recent MRP this week also put Reform on 18 seats. We have Reform down on last week but still high, in relative terms, on 21 per cent of the national vote."
