Just One In 10 Britons Say That Brexit Has Gone Well

Fewer than one in 10 British voters think Brexit has gone well, a new study has found. Research by the think tank UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) found that just 9 per cent now say that leaving the EU has been a success.

Voters are also increasingly pessimistic that the decision to leave the EU will ever turn out well, with less than a third (30 per cent) saying they think it will. Even among people who voted Leave in 2016, just 61 per cent still think Brexit will eventually prove to have been beneficial.

In a hypothetical referendum on rejoining the EU, 48 per cent would vote to rejoin, while 32 per cent would vote against it, with the rest unsure. Though the gap in favour of rejoining is now bigger than the original vote to leave, the authors of the report urge caution in interpreting the results.
