Remainers are increasingly less likely to vote to rejoin the EU, a surprising new poll has shown. Research by Redfield and Wilton Strateiges, carried out for thinktank UK in a Changing Europe, report a drop in support for the UK getting back into the bloc – even for those who voted Remain in 2016.<\/p>\n

When answers from respondents who said they wouldn\u2019t vote or don\u2019t know how they would are removed, 56 percent said they would vote to rejoin, while 44 percent state they would vote to stay out of the EU.<\/p>\n

This is a three-point swing in favour of staying out compared with October, and five points more than a study taken in August. Crucially, there is a three-point swing among those who voted Remain in 2016 in favour of staying out of the bloc.<\/p>\n

Support for staying out has increased by as much as eight points among those who did not vote seven years ago, the think-tank reports.<\/p>\n

The swing is reflected in several other polls. Omnisis\/WeThink, which runs polls on the subject every week, recorded an average of around 60 percent in favour of re-joining in November, compared with 57-58 percent in more recent polls.<\/p>\n

BMG research meanwhile found in their latest monthly poll that staying out was even more popular than re-joining, at 51 percent to 49 percent.<\/p>\n

In UK In a Changing Europe\u2019s study, respondents were still inclined to believe that immigration is higher, and that both the UK\u2019s standing on the global stage and its economy has suffered as a result of Brexit.<\/p>\n

Voters remain divided on how much Britain has gained control over its own affairs, meanwhile, with 34 percent saying the UK has more, 23 percent saying it is similar and 31 percent saying it is worse.<\/p>\n

This means that voters\u2019 opinions of the consequences of Brexit have not changed – but more would be more likely to vote in favour of staying out of the EU than in previous months.<\/p>\n

The apparent contradiction is explained by further analysis, which reveals that the swing in favour of remaining outside of the EU is more prominent for voters who believe Brexit has not subtstantially impacted the British economy.<\/p>\n

Among Remain voters in this category, there was a nine-point boost to those supporting staying out. Meanwhile the increase among Leave supporters and non-voters of this opinion are 11 and 15 points respectively.<\/p>\n
