45 per cent feel voting for Brexit was wrong
The poll compares with one released April 16 that said support for Brexit had hit a five-month high, with 55 per cent.
London: For the first time since Britain voted to leave the European Union, more people now believe that the decision was a mistake, an opinion poll released Thursday said. Asked “in hindsight, was Britain right or wrong to vote to leave the EU?” the YouGov poll in The Times newspaper found that 45 per cent said wrong (up two), while 43 per cent said right (down three).
“This is the first time that more people have said the referendum came out with the wrong result, and suggests that the issue still divides the country,” The Times said. In June 2016 referendum, 52 per cent voted to leave the EU.
YouGov surveyed 1,590 British adults online on Tuesday and Wednesday.
