The Telegraph

By Peter Dominiczak, Political Editor 1 day ago

The majority of older voters, Conservative supporters and men are now backing the campaign to stay in the EU following a collapse in support for Brexit, a new poll for the Daily Telegraph shows.

An exclusive poll for The Telegraph today finds that the Remain campaign now has a 13-point lead with just one month until the referendum.

The latest ORB poll puts Remain on 55 per cent and Leave trailing on 42 per cent, among people who definitely intend to vote.

Amongst all voters, the Remain campaign now has a 20-point lead, with 58 per cent of voters saying they back the pro-EU campaign.

In an analysis of the data, Sir Lynton Crosby, who masterminded the Conservative Party’s general election victory last year, warns that the Leave campaign is “dwindling” and has “failed to quell ongoing concerns about the financial and economic consequences of a Brexit”.

The poll finds that men, Tory voters and over-65s are increasingly turning to the pro-EU campaign after previously supporting a Brexit in much larger numbers.

It is understood that the figures in the poll for this newspaper reflects the private polling being done by Downing Street ahead of the June 23 vote.

In March, the polling found that 60 per cent of Conservatives were intending to vote Leave compared to 34 per cent for Remain.

Today’s poll finds that amongst Tory voters, 57 per cent now say they will vote to stay in the EU, compared to 40 per cent backing Leave.
