New Poll Shows 45% of Britons Back Leaving EU, 42% to Vote Remain

As many as 45 percent of UK nationals would vote to leave the European Union, with the Remain campaign trailing 3 percent behind, a poll revealed Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to a poll by the Survation pollster, 13 percent remain undecided.

UK nationals are set to vote on June 23 in a referendum on the country's EU membership, after Prime Minister David Cameron and the leaders of the 27 EU member states agreed in February to grant the United Kingdom a special status within the bloc.

"’Leave’s’ seven-point spurt appears to show that they’re swaying undecided voters, with our latest poll showing ‘Undecided’ five points down from our last poll at the end of May, during which time the campaign has kicked off in earnest with multi-televised events and debates," the pollster said.
