Polls give boost to Cameron's fight against Brexit

The campaign to keep Britain in the European Union regained its lead in two opinion polls published on Saturday, giving a boost to Prime Minister David Cameron who is battling to avoid a historic "Out" vote in Thursday's referendum.

A third poll also showed a change in momentum in favor of the "In" camp and Cameron got the backing of a leading newspaper when the right-leaning Mail on Sunday urged its readers to vote to remain in the EU.

"We are now in the final week of the referendum campaign and the swing back towards the status quo appears to be in full force," Anthony Wells, a director with polling firm YouGov, said.

Another Ramadan induced sudden Jihad syndrome outbreak and this lead will vanish.

I think the shooting of the MP had something to do with the change in the poll numbers.

I was thinking the same thing. A bunch of weak-minded fence-sitters were probably horrified to be associated in any way with the likes of the nutcase who murdered Cox. The idiotic sheep figured that a vote for Brexit would be vote for guys like that.

I suppose that if the population of a nation is that easily manipulated by events, it is finished as an independent nation anyway.

However, the poll is probably like the ones here — contrived to influence an impending election.

Oh and just like any poll, its only as good as nothing until the real vote. Many are an attempt to form opinion, so sad so many people cannot think on their own. God Bless

I sure hope they LEAVE..... someone has to take a stand against the bureaucratic cesspool that is the EU. I don’t understand how any country’s citizens could still want to be submerged in that quagmire.

More far left Reuters spin and you knew the big poll lie was coming .
They make crap up at the El Reuters .pand spread disinformation

Don’t read the headline.

It is classic PsychOps by the left wing media.

Read the actual article that even states and Reuters tries to spins a poll showing Out still ahead by peddling the term a shift . That’s code for the poll still has Out ahead.

I am sure the In con man had many polls cooked up the day of the attack so they scream Stay Stay Stay until the vote.

Lie spin Lie spin

El Reuter motto.

3 polls show the same thing. While the degree of movement can be debated, the momentum is clear.

Does make a great movie story line though.

"As business faces the unimaginable prospect of leaving the EU and politicians from all parties struggle to find a last minute way to reverse what appears to be an end to the political world they worked so hard to build, to their benefit, someone utters the words "What if something so horrible were to happen, it would change the polls overnight?"

"What would follow would be a plot that is part Machiavelli and part Don Corleone. So-called witnesses would claim to hear 2 words associated with something almost unthinkable. There would be sacrifices sure, but sacrifices have to be made for causes. "Britain First" would come to be associated with murder, and not patriotism. The "how" is already worked out. The only question left was "when?"

Excellent and insightful comment!

That’s how it all works. Its all about propaganda and manipulating the people. Of course they wouldn’t be able to get away with this if we had an honest, un-corruptable media.

"I think the shooting of the MP had something to do with the change in the poll numbers."

How fortunate for Mr Cameron. How timely. How can I banish these evil thoughts while I am in the middle of watching the original UK version of 'House of Cards'?
