Unlikely as it may seem, I think you're probably both in broad agreement. Everything I read said that Remain was ahead. It was only the private polls conducted whilst poling was underway that actually said otherwise.
However, nowhere was Remain ahead by a substantial amount, so the figure quoted in the FT (48% Remain, 46% Leave) does not seem out of place.
There's actually a very good article in the FT which seems to be free "How accurate are the Brexit polls?" which covers this topic. https://www.ft.com/content/6a63c2ca-...d-26294ad519fc
