UK EU Referendum Polls May 19 2016

The latest polls for the EU referendum due to take place in the UK on June 23rd are beginning to show that the remain camp has the edge. Many polls conducted online in recent weeks have been showing "leave" with a slight advantage, however all polls that are conducted via telephone seem to show a big advantage for "remain".

However, in last years general election both online and telephone polling proved to be incorrect and some analysts believe that the anonimity of online polling allows respondents to give a more honest answer. Turnout will likely also be a key factor in the referendum.

UK EU Referendum Poll 16 April 2016

A new average of the last 6 polls that have been conducted run by Natcen Social Research shows that the leave and remain camps are tied at 50-50.

In the last few weeks there has been a steady increase in support for the UK leaving the European Union and this new information confirms that this trend is continuing. The referendum to decide Britain`s future with regards to the EU will take place on June 24 and there is no doubt that we are in for a few months of vigorous campaigning before the vote.

With the migrant crisis and terrorist attacks on European soil, many British voters believe it is best to leave the EU and regain full national sovereignty while others argue that there would be serious economic costs for leaving and it would be best to stay.
