Poll Reveals UK Failure to Get EU Concessions Will Impact on Brexit Vote
MOSCOW (Sputnik) According to the survey conducted among UK citizens by the Ipsos MORI polling company, 68 percent of respondents believe that Cameron will campaign in favor of UK membership of the European Union, while 17 percent said they thought he would put his support behind the country exiting the 28-nation bloc.

The recent poll revealed that at least 53 percent of respondents supported the country's EU membership and about a third of those polled said they would prefer "to get out" of the bloc.

Cameron pledged in the election campaign that led to his Conservative Party's victory in the May parliamentary elections to hold a nationwide in/out referendum by the end of 2017 on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union. He intends to first try to renegotiate EU-UK relations before staging the vote.
