Brexit momentum builds as another poll puts ‘Leave’ ahead

If the polls this morning are anything to go by, the momentum for Brexit is building: an ITV poll for Good Morning Britain shows 45 per cent of voters planning on voting out, compared to 41 per cent who wanted the UK to remain in the EU. The poll is significant because it shows that in the purdah period in the final run-up to the referendum on June 23rd, the ‘Leave’ campaign’s support is growing. What’s more, a separate poll survey by TNS showed ‘Leave’ on 43 per cent compared to 41 per cent backing ‘Remain’.

The figures, based on a survey carried out last week, are also important because they reflect what was, by all accounts, a good week for those campaigning for Brexit: Michael Gove was widely praised for his performance in the Sky debate. Whilst in his TV appearance, David Cameron came under fire over the ‘Project Fear’ tactics used by the Government.
