Exclusive survey shows that voters think Brexit has hurt the economy, the NHS, and the UK’s global position.
BMG Research’s exclusive polls for i found that over half (49%) of voters now want to reverse Brexit, the highest percentage ever.
11 percent of Leave voters wish to rejoin the EU, and 14 percent would vote differently in the 2016 referendum if they could go back in time, compared to 4 percent of Remainers.
48 percent of people now want a deeper economic connection with the EU over Boris Johnson’s trade deal and Rishi Sunak’s Windsor Framework agreement on Northern Ireland (33 percent).
It follows unfavorable Brexit opinions.
Many more voters said Brexit had a negative rather than positive impact on the economy (net score -42%), the NHS and public services (-34%), Northern Ireland’s political situation (-33%), the UK’s ability to influence other countries (-28%), the UK’s standing in the world (-27%), and the laws and regulations people and businesses had to follow (-21%).
Despite the Leave campaign’s emphasis on worldwide free trade accords, 21% of respondents think leaving the group has hurt trade with non-EU nations. Lost EU commerce also affects voters (-45%).
Brexit’s influence on the UK’s response to COVID-19 and future pandemics was the only subject surveyed that received a net score of zero.
BMG polling chief Rob Struthers said more Leave backers were seeing the downsides of quitting the EU.
The public is getting more pessimistic about Brexit’s impact.
“On economic, migration, NHS, and cost-of-living issues, more 2016 leave voters say the impact is negative than positive.
“Compared to November, on most of the areas we asked about, the share saying the impact will be negative has increased, with the biggest shifts seen in areas like the economy, NHS, and cost of living.
“This month’s poll shows the largest lead for rejoining the EU over staying out since we started tracking this question. These figures should clarify why.”
