Britain on course for Brexit after poll surge

A clear majority of voters want Britain to quit the European Union, according to a poll for The Times that gives Brexit a seven-point lead.

The YouGov survey puts Leave on 46 per cent, up three points since the end of last week. Remain is on 39 per cent, down three — giving Brexit its largest lead since the start of the campaign, the pollster found. Eleven per cent of people do not know how they will vote and 4 per cent plan to abstain, The Times reported.

Women are now more likely to support Brexit, as are people aged 25 to 49, the paper added.

The Brexit campaign, led by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, is on 49 per cent of the vote compared to Remain’s 48 per cent amongst those definite to vote, the Daily Telegraph survey said.
