UK would vote against Brexit in second referendum, study says

(Sept 5): British voters are more skeptical about Brexit than they’ve ever been and would probably vote against leaving the European Union if the government called a second referendum, according to new research.

The reason for the change of heart is a growing fear among previously pro-Brexit voters that leaving the EU will damage the economy, the report from NatCen, a leading social research institute, found.

“As many as 59% said they would vote Remain in another referendum, while only 41 percent indicated they would back Leave,” the report said. “This is by far and away the highest the level of support for Remain that we have recorded.”
