For better in the past, you see 35% of remain voters saying yes against 64% of leave voters. What stood out though is that 20% of remain voters said the country will be better in the future vs. 15% of leave voters. This is the opposite of what I would have expected.
Here is the BBC summary - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-44142843
Here is the underlying data - https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.ne...or_website.pdf see the bottoms of page 4, 5 and 6 for the results of that question |
What is striking Jon is that regardless of Remain or Leave, 4 out out 5 people think the country will be worse in future. It is weird though that Leave voters are even more pessimistic.
