“More than half - 55% - said they would vote to rejoin the EU, against 31% who said they would stay out, if a referendum were to be held today,” reported Reuters.

YouGov also cited the results as moderately shifting from those of January 2021.

It should be noted that the survey also marked a 63% of the British people considering Brexit as a failure.
