POLL 81 IN WHATUKTHINKS SERIES

To buttress the polls we saw we saw earlier today, the 81st poll in the WhatUKthinks series was published yesterday showing a slightly reduced but still clear 2% lead for WRONG at 45% - 43% so still good news although stubbornly stuck at around this level.  See the actual graph and table HERE.  This is in response to the question: In hindsight was the UK right or wrong to vote to leave the EU?
