Britons would vote to Remain if the EU referendum were to be held today, a poll suggests.
A survey for The Mirror found that if the EU referendum were held again, 51 per cent would vote for Remain and 49 per cent would vote for Brexit.
The survey of more than 44,000 people found 13.5 per cent of people who voted to leave would vote to Remain if there were a second referendum.
Brexit Bill backed: Theresa May allowed to start EU exit negotiations In contrast, 9.3 per cent of those who voted to Remain would not vote to leave.
Such a switch in votes would give an overall result of 51.2 per cent to 48.8 per cent in favour of Britain remaining in the EU.
However, 51.3 per cent of those polled said they did not want a second referendum.
The poll also found 54.7 per cent of respondents expect the UK to break up within the next 10 years as a result of Brexit.

Brexit Concerns London to lose status as 'gateway to Europe' for banks One of Germany’s top banking regulators has warned that London could lose its status as “gateway to Europe” for the banking sector after Britain quits the European trading bloc. Andreas Dombret, who is an executive board member for the Bundesbank—Germany’s central bank—told a private meeting of German businesses and banks earlier this week in Frankfurt that even if banking rules were “equivalent” between the UK and the rest of the EU, that was still “miles away from [Britain having] access to the single market”, the BBC reports.

Brexit Concerns Brexit is making FTSE 100 executives richer Pay packages of many FTSE 100 chief executive officers are partly tied to how well share prices are doing rather than the CEO’s performance -- and some stocks are soaring. ritish equities got a boost since the June vote because the likes of Rio Tinto, Smiths Group and WPP generate most sales abroad and earn a fortune when they convert these revenues back into the weakened pound. Sterling’s fall also made UK stocks more affordable for overseas investors.
