Britons heading to the polls in the EU referendum could be influenced by as little as £25, a new survey has revealed.
Polling conducted by YouGov for Philip Cowley, a professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, showed that the balance of votes can be altered if Britons think they will be better off financially, with the amount varying between £500 and £25.
"If people think they will be better off out, then Leave wins. But if people think they'll be better off staying in the EU, then there's a majority for Remain," he writes in The Guardian.
