70% of Britons favour closer relationship with EU, and 59% think Brexit has worsened economy, poll suggests​

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has published some extensive new polling on Brexit. For anyone interested in the topic, it’s a data goldmine, but two findings stand out.

  • More than two-thirds of voters (70%) favour a closer relationship with the EU over the medium term, the poll suggests. The report setting out the poll findings says:
When asked what the UK’s place within Europe should be in the next 10-15 years, just under a quarter (23 per cent) say “inside the European Union”. This is followed by a preference for “a new kind of association with the European Union unlike anything we know today” (19 per cent), a relationship “outside the European single market, but with a closer trade and security partnership than today” (17 per cent) and “outside EU political institutions, but within the European single market” (11 per cent). Only 7 per cent of the public wishes to “keep things as they are now after Brexit” and another 7 per cent would prefer “no or minimal economic and political ties with the European Union”.
Overall, about a third of the public favour at least the single-market type relationship with the EU. Another third favour a closer relationship than today while remaining outside the EU and the single market, but do not have a clear idea of what that relationship might entail.
  • Most voters think Brexit has made the economy worse, the poll suggests. The report says:
Most Britons (59 per cent) think that Britain’s exit from the EU has worsened our economy, with 20 per cent thinking that it has made no difference and just 14 per cent seeing an improvement. Only a small percentage of the public (6 per cent) don’t know, meaning that voters have largely made up their minds about the economic effects of Brexit – and their views are mostly negative.
While there is a 2016 effect, with over four-fifths of Remainers thinking Brexit has worsened Britain’s economy, even Leavers are unenthusiastic about the economic effects of Brexit. Over two-thirds of Leavers say that it has either worsened the UK’s economy (34 per cent) or made no difference (35 per cent), compared to only about a quarter (24 per cent) who think that Britain’s economy has improved as a result of Brexit.

Not sure who wrote the analysis for the survey, but maths isnt their best suit, also picking and choosing which ones to highlight to suit their own rhetoric……..but its typical of analysts to be quite honest.

You do know that the figures are from two different questions?

Care to share?

Meanwhile the figures in the graph posted above by @Fab Foodie are easier to read from a direct copy/paste.

you got access to the report as you've shown above, if i can see the mistakes just with a quick scan of the figures, then surely you all can.

i mean this report states the following

59% think Brexit has worsened economy, poll suggests​


But this states something else....last time i went to school 32% + 28% = 60%

and there's many other figures within the report that doesn't add up.

That would be a waste of my time, like looking for Brexit benefits. And you'd be the one encouraging us all to waste our time looking for something that you're too coy to point out.

I suspect the difference between 32+28=60 and the reference to 59% is because of rounding.

it doesn't matter if its rounding, you cant show one data value and then show a different one due to rounding in the narrative....show the same data value and then people cant question it.

Show the data to 1 decimal place then you can see the actual figures correctly. Its funy how people on here want to keep putting me down on my grammar and spelling, but are quite happy with a company that gets paid to put out polling data to put incorrect workings.

Talk about double standards.
