Poll shows record support for UK EU re-entry, but future vote remains precarious

In an exclusive interview, poll expert Professor Sir John Curtice revealed that 61% of respondents would now vote to rejoin the European Union, the highest proportion recorded since the 2016 Brexit referendum. The remaining 39% would prefer to remain outside the bloc, with only about 18% of former Leave voters shifting toward re-entry and 11% of former Remainers now favoring staying out. The rise is attributed to a new cohort of younger voters and the natural attrition of older, more pro-Leave demographics.

Curtice emphasized that political parties have largely been silent on the issue, though Labour and the Liberal Democrats are beginning to address it, and that the framing of arguments will be decisive in any future referendum. He warned that concerns about joining the eurozone or Schengen could dampen support, and urged leaders like Andy Burnham to actively promote a post-Brexit reset with Europe. The Cabinet Office has not commented on the poll.
