POLL 90 IN WHATUKTHINKS SERIES

The 90th poll since August 2016 in the WhatUKthinks series has been published - see HERE. It shows a 5% lead for WRONG in response to the question: In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the EU?  In 2018 there has now been 39 polls in total with WRONG ahead in 37 of them. One was even and RIGHT was in front by just 1% on one occasion ten months ago.

RIGHT led in 22 out of the first 27 polls, but WRONG has now been in front in 47 of the last 52 polls. Unless YouGov's polling methods are wildly wrong the majority of voters will probably leave the EU next year in the biggest constitutional, legal, social and economic upheaval we have seen in our lifetime, thinking it's all a mistake.  What a mess.
