POLL 75 IN WHATUKTHINKS SERIES

The 75th poll in the WhatUKthinks series was published yesterday (HERE) and shows WRONG still clearly ahead by 4% and comes just five days after the last poll which had a 5% lead, so very consistent. This is in answer to the question: Was the UK right or wrong to vote to leave the EU. It is the 24th poll this year and the 22nd with WRONG in front. 

So the figures are now:

Total No of polls since August 2016: 75

Polls with RIGHT IN THE LEAD: 28 - (22 in the first 27 polls)
Polls with WRONG IN THE LEAD: 38 - (31 in the last 33 polls)

Even: 9

Last time RIGHT was in the lead: 17th January 2018

Looked at annually:

2016 - (from August) 12 polls in total WRONG =1, RIGHT 11
2017 - 39 in total WRONG = 15, RIGHT = 17
2018 - (to date) 25 in total WRONG = 23, RIGHT = 1

At 4% the lead is still comfortable. The fieldwork ended on 9th July so the turmoil in government is only just beginning to seep into the public consciousness. Bring it on!
