I used to do the yougov polls as I got paid.

I don't have any understanding of Politics, or who is on the left or who is on the right - it means nothing to me (not that I don't care just that it is all too complex). Yet I answered their questions.

I decide if I agree with something that happens politically on whether I feel that it is ethically and morally right or wrong.

There is good in bad in every politician and in every political party.

The poll may have had loaded questions or have been taken by members of yougov who just want their money.
\\Figures reveal 45 per cent of electorate oppose leaving the EU//

Wasn't the referendum result 48% stay and 52% leave.?
So thats less then.


Dave.
45% isn't a majority.

And hardly surprising after all the fear spreading that some will get cold feet after finding the nerve to have made the right decision: which is why the EU tactic of asking again and again, if the decision wasn't they wanted, in the hope that propaganda and spin will cause flip flop, is such an abominable underhand trick.

I hear the unmistakable sound of fingernail on barrel here :-)
As someone who has worked in the same general area of these Polls, I would urge caution. Was this Poll based on face-to-face interviews, or was it done over the 'net ?

It is interesting though: it doesn't exactly fit Theresa May's idea of a Britain bravely embracing Brexit. I'd be concerned if I were her
Regardless of this dodgy poll ... what have the EU done since the referendum to convince the likes of me that it was a wrong decision?

All I am seeing is the EU threat after threat.
how to get any answer you want by Sir Humphrey....

"Wasn't the referendum result 48% stay and 52% leave.? "
Those percentages refer to the number of votes. In fact 37% of the electorate (those entitled to vote, as opposed to those who actually voted) voted for Brexit.
yawn....
They didn't ask me.
//Her critics and members of opposing parties have derided her decision to hold another election as an opportunistic move, designed to crush the opposition.\\
Quelle surprise! That's what politicians do.
I do YouGov polls, I didn't get that pne in my in box though.
Although 45% is not a majority, 12% of those polled said they didn't know if the outcome was the correct decision or no. The upshot is that more folk think it was wrong than think it was correct.
More to the point, in one poll, enough people have got nervous enough not to still have the courage of the convictions they had when they considered​ the situation calmly.
In the vote last year the majority of those who voted went for Brexit, who gives a stuff about those who could not be bothered to put an X on a piece of paper and are now crying.
You will always get people Flip flopping between what they did and what they think they should have done.

That I think is partly down to what they hear after the fact.

I should think there are plenty of people who voted remain how now see leave was the correct vote.

The don't knows cannot be put into either remain or leave. But they are by whomever is doing the talking to justify their thinking. If you do anything with the don't knows I think is split them in the same way as the overall vote is going i.e. 50/50 or 48/52 or whatever the ratio is.
//I should think there are plenty of people who voted remain how now see leave was the correct vote.//

It will be some time yet before anyone can see if it was the correct vote.
This is what happens when you allow the great unwashed the chance to put their grubby little paws on the tiller of democracy. There is a tendency not to vote the way our lords and masters think we should.
It was a poll of 1590 people!
