Brexit support is as strong as ever with new poll revealing majority of Brits think we were right to leave the EU

SUPPORT for Brexit is as strong as ever after a new poll revealed a majority of Brits still think we were right to leave the EU.

Data shows that 46%of those asked think the UK made the right decision on June 23 last year - while 42% think we were wrong.

Support was unsurprisingly strongest among Ukip voters, with a whopping 91% backing the decision of the EU referendum.

In the YouGov poll, which asked “In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union?”, the lowest number to say we were right were Lib Dem voters at 10%.

The survey was conducted last week, and sees support for Brexit up two percentage points since Theresa May triggered Article 50.

When the same question was asked before the Prime Minister triggered our EU exit a total of 44% said were right to vote to Leave.

But that was still a per cent higher than those who said it was wrong – with those saying they didn’t know either way at 13%.

The same poll also gave Mrs May’s Conservatives - a whopping 17-point lead over Labour, with their support on 42%.

The Tories are also ahead in every category; gender, social grade, region and all but the 18-24 age group.

And on the question of who would make the best Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn also find himself way behind his rival.

The figures say 49% of people prefer Mrs May – slightly down on last month, while just 16% say the Labour leader is the right person for the job – less than half the number who say they aren’t sure.

On Brexit a total of 36% of people say the Government is “negotiating Britain's exit from the European Union” well, while 34% say they are doing it badly.
