  1. Guardian/ICM survey finds rising interest in vote on final deal as concerns mount over EU talks
  2. Voters support the idea of holding a second EU referendum by a 16-point margin, according to one of the largest nationwide opinion polls since the Brexit vote.
  3. The ICM survey, conducted as part of a Guardian reporting project, found 47% of people would favour having a final say on Brexit once the terms of the UK’s departure are known, while 34% oppose reopening the question.
  4. Excluding the roughly one-fifth who do not have a view gives a lead of 58% to 42% for a second referendum, showing rising interest in the idea as concern grows over the direction of recent negotiations.
  5. The increased backing has come from both sides of the debate, with one-quarter of leave voters in favour of having another referendum on the final deal.
