Daily Mirror Brexit Poll November 2016

Poll for Daily Mirror on Brexit, Nigel Farage and the economy

Brexit

• A large majority of referendum voters would vote in the same way that they voted in June. 95% of Remain voters report that they would still vote Remain if there was a referendum tomorrow, and similarly 92% of Leave voters would again vote to Leave. There appears to be little sign of any ‘Bregret’ vote, with just 3% of Leave voters saying they would now vote Remain- a similar proportion to the number of Remain voters who would now vote Leave (4%).

Q. If there was referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU tomorrow, how would you vote on the following question? “Should the UK remain a member of the European Union, or leave the European Union?”

	All Britons	Voted Remain in June	Voted Leave in June
Remain	46%	95%	3%
Leave	47%	4%	92%
Don’t know	6%	2%	5%

Base: GB adults (n=2035).

Economy

• Two in five British adults (43%) say they think the UK economy will get worse in the next 12 months, and a similar figure (39%) say the same for the global economy.
• When it comes to their own financial situation, twice as many Britons think it will get worse (27%) as better (14%) over the next 12 months.

Q. Do you think each of the following will get better or worse in the next 12 months, or will it stay about the same?

Statement	Better	Worse	About the same	Don’t know

Global politics

• Two thirds of British adults (66%) state that Vladimir Putin has made the world generally less safe as president of Russia, and a similar number (63%) say the same for Trump winning the US presidential election.
• A third of British adults (35%) say they think Britain voting to leave the EU has made the world generally less safe, although the same proportion say it’s made no impact (35%).
