EU referendum poll: pensioners, Tory voters and men are deserting the Brexit campaign

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 exclusive poll for the Telegraph shows.

The poll 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.

This looks as if it is shaping up to be a huge humiliation for the EU Bashers.

Britons, the most EU skeptical people in the realm, voting to stay in the EU.

Add who in The UK supports staying, conservatives, men, older people (read traditionalists) and you have nothing less than self flagellation. LoL!

Quite remarkable I dare say. Not many people had the chance to vote for EU membership:

Insanity has ravaged Britain! :-(

They should flee this disaster and stay far far away from it.

Is there ANY effing hope for the civilized world?

As if their votes would count if the majority was to leave.

It's not the votes that matter, but who counts them.

That's how it works in supposedly politically clean Minnesota.

Ah yes

The state of Minnesota, the one that gave us Jesse Ventura, weighing in on the EU...

Minnesota got Reagan wrong, Nixon too.

Minnesota is a non-factor politically.

‘Minnesota is a non-factor politically.’
For the GOP that's true but for the Dim’s a fools gold mine.

Those electoral votes add up, it would be nice if Trunp had
a couple of states in his pocket as Hilliary has with Minnesota...

Don’t understand this at all. Everything I read about EU suggests democracy deficit, and the effort of EU elites to delegitimize any Eurosceptic perspectives. For the sake of liberty, I would vote for Brexit.

Given the loss the Austrian “far right” party just suffered, it certainly appears to any thinking person that the Eurozone is totally and completely gone. It is now a survival imperative for the US to elect Trump to have him implement his America First agenda to extricate this country from the clutches of a mad world.

Why don’t the Brits just slit their own throats and save the open borders EU the trouble? Or would that deprive the Muslim invaders the pleasure of seeing them all bleed out?

Thanks Berlin_Freeper. This is probably official gov't agitprop disguised as a news story -- the poll gap I saw yesterday was 44 - 41 -- but the Brexit supporters are probably much more likely to actually show up and vote. It's easy to respond to a poll, and those who want to stay in are bound to be less motivated.

Populations that perceive themselves as dependent on the government for their daily bread will never, when it comes down to the wire, vote against what the perceive as their bread and butter even if they express and feel exasperation and even fear and hatred for their enslavement in the leadup to the vote.

There is a history of horrendously wrong polls there, employed for political purposes to create momentum and demoralize the opposition. I hope that is the case here. But you won’t go broke underestimating the stupidity of the public, so who knows.

Say what you will about Jesse Ventura, but he was a very good governor for Minnesota.

PISSED off ALL the libs.

It was fun!

The man IS a loon, and Minehoota is a complete wasteland for conservatives.

I lived and worked in London in 1975-1976.

My British peer group (ages 20-26, all white, all native-born) HATED Britain and Britishness. Not as much as they hated America, of course, but still, it was quite remarkable.

Those people are now in charge. Brexit never had a chance.

The fix is in, have to align that polling to the fixed result.

IMHO, the “Goebbels Gambit” is STRONG at the “Telegraph”...
