Support for Britain to stay in the European Union is leading by around 7 points over those wanting the country to leave EU, about a week before the June 23 referendum, according to a telephone poll released on Friday.
The poll conducted June 10-15 by BMG for The Herald showed that Remain leads with 53.3 percent, while Leave receives 46.7 percent. The poll of 1,064 adults excluded the “don’t knows.”
However, a separate online poll by BMG showed the Leave camp leading by 10 points, with Leave at 55.5 percent support and Remain at 44.5 percent.
The polling was conducted before Thursday’s murder of Jo Cox which prompted the suspension of campaigning by both camps.
The BMG poll had been scheduled to be published on June 16, but was delayed due to Cox’s death.
