So says a ComRes poll carried out for the Daily Mail newspaper published today
Yes vote 54%
No 36%
Undecided 10%
The Yes vote in this survey, of 1006 adults between 22-24 Jan, is down 2% down from a similar poll conducted in December, while the No vote is up 1%.
Other recent opinion polls in Britain have suggested that out of those voters who have already made up their minds about EU membership, more people favour leaving the EU than remaining in the bloc.
Given the debacle of the UK election polls any of these are to be treated with cynicism if not downright contempt, but it all adds to the referendum backstory and uncertainty.
PM Cameron is continuing to negotiate EU reforms ahead of the next summit on 18-19 Feb with another summit scheduled for 17-18 March. Earlier this month I reported a story outlining why a referendum is unlikely to be held before September but there have reports before, and since, of a possible date being pencilled in for June.
Either way we can expect the pound to remain undermined on the uncertainty and the conjecture on what exactly Cameron will bring back to the table from Brussels.
