Brexit: BMG phone poll has 'Remain' leading by over 7 points

The latest Brexit opinion poll shows a significant increase for the 'Remain' camp, according to the findings of BMG for the Herald, in a survey conducted over the phone.

As Reuters reports: "Support for Britain to stay in the European Union was leading by almost 7 points over those advocating withdrawal from the 28-member bloc, not quite a week before the June 23 referendum, according to a telephone poll released on Friday. The poll, by BMG for The Herald, showed Remain with 53.3 percent support and Leave with 46.7 percent. The poll of 1,064 adults, conducted June 10-15, excluded the "don't knows."

As a reminder, in a separate online poll by BMG, conducted ahead of the the killing of pro-European UK MP Jo Cox, revealed the Leave camp had a substantial 10 points lead, with Leave at 55.5% and Remain at 44.5%.
