Brexit is ‘going badly,’ say Brits in new poll

Pollster asks Brits how the EU exit is working out.

BY PAUL DALLISON

More than half of Brits think that Brexit is "going badly," according to new polling — and the number of people with that opinion is growing.

The pollster YouGov asked people how they thought the country's exit from the European Union was working out, and a whopping 53 percent said it was going badly, a rise of 15 percentage points from June, when they asked people the same question. The "badly" camp can be split into two: those who thought Brexit was going "fairly badly" (21 percent) and those who said it was going "very badly" (32 percent).

The number of people with a positive take on Brexit was down seven percentage points from June, to 18 percent — of those, 14 percent said it was going "fairly well" and just 4 percent "very well."

In addition, 21 percent said it was going "neither well nor badly" and 8 percent said they didn't know.

YouGov asked 6,546 British adults for their opinion on Wednesday, with the results published the same day.
