Reuters: Campaign for 'Brexit' takes 9-point lead

05 February 2016

The campaign for Britain to leave the European Union has taken a nine-point lead over the rival 'in' campaign, according to a YouGov poll taken since Prime Minister David Cameron set out his proposals to keep the country in the bloc.

The survey by YouGov in the Times newspaper, taken in the two days after Cameron set out his proposed changes for Britain's relationship with the EU, represents the biggest lead for the 'out' campaign since the referendum wording was agreed last September.

The poll showed 45 percent of Britons would vote to leave the bloc compared with the 36 percent who want to remain, a nine-point gap that was up from the four-point lead the 'leave' campaign held last week.

Nineteen percent said they did not know or would not vote.
