• Around one in five (21%) people remain undecided about which way to vote if a referendum was held tomorrow – up 3 percentage points.
• This is the first time since Survation asked the ‘new’ EU Referendum question that either campaign has held onto its lead from a previous poll.
• As renegotiations over the UK’s EU membership continue, nearly a third (32%) believe David Cameron is handling renegotiations badly, compared to less than a quarter (24%) who believe he is handling them well.
• Other questions show whether Boris Johnson & Theresa May could affect the EU Referendum outcome if they lead the ‘Leave’ campaign, and whether Britons think David Cameron should resign as Prime Minister if the UK votes to leave the EU.
