It's comfortable lead for remain at the moment according to Mori (49% remain to 39% leave -and this was before Obama).
http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/blog/archives/9673 . Internet polls/forums aren't representative of the population (thankfully !) . The big unknown will be turnout, and how that will affect the result.
As an aside why on earth do we vote on a Thursday and not weekends like other countries ? And why can't we vote online on this day and age ? (there'll be some who argue security, but postal voting is hardly secure. In fact voting in a booth isn't secure, you just need to turn up and say a name, no id required). The Govt. don't exactly encourage the young to vote either, probably because they don't vote for them. 800k have disappeared off the electoral register
