British voters favor a referendum on final Brexit deal - YouGov
Almost half of British voters would support a referendum on the terms of a final Brexit deal, overtaking those who do not favour the vote, according to a new survey from YouGov.
Asked if there should be a referendum on the final terms of Brexit, around 42% of people are in favour of a new vote while 40% said there should not be another poll. The rest were unsure.
Figures have changed when compared to the previous survey by YouGov for The Times in April, which asked voters the same question. At that time, around 31% supported a referendum but 48% were against it.
In the 2016 referendum on whether or not to leave the economic bloc, 17.4m votes, or 51.9% of votes cast, backed leaving the EU while 16.1m votes, or 48.1% of votes cast, backed staying.
Conducted on Wednesday and Thursday this week's survey by YouGov found 45% said that they would choose to remain in the EU, while 42% would leave, 4% would not vote and 9% would be unsure.
Dividing the new survey's results by political affiliation, 58% of Labour voters supported a new referendum, 67% of Liberal Democrat voters thought the same, with just 21% of Conservative voters in favour.
