That would be 55% of the people they asked. All depends on how the question is worded and where you poll.

True enough, polls are rarely a way to judge the truth of things.

The question asked, in this case, was pretty straight forward (unlike the Brexit one, fwiw).

But Blackie is the one who called it a myth, and I proved otherwise.

It's not just polling. And since it appears I have to re-post it:

So for a "myth" there's a hell of a lot of real people saying "This was not a good idea after all".

Which was the point.

Just because a few people think it was a bad idea, doesn't necessarily make it a bad idea. The fact that there are people on all sides of the political spectrum that were opposed to Brexit makes one wonder just what vested interests they had in staying with the EU. Like everything, there would be winners and losers. In general, I think getting away from an unelected bureaucracy in a foreign country is a good thing.

Still missing the point though, but whatever.
