Britain’s leading pollster Sir John Curtice says public opinion has shifted decisively since the 2016 referendum, with a modest majority now favouring reversing Brexit and rejoining the European Union. Curtice, speaking on polling trends, describes a consistent movement away from Brexit over the past decade. The Independent reports his assessment that the change in sentiment has been both “decisive and consistent,” suggesting support for staying outside the EU has weakened since the vote. The Mirror similarly cites Curtice’s view that a “modest majority” would opt to rejoin the EU, pointing to recent polling figures as support for that claim. Both outlets attribute the conclusion to Curtice and present it as an interpretation of evolving survey data rather than an official government position or legislative proposal. The reports align on the central point: Curtice believes a majority preference has emerged for reversing Brexit, based on trends in polls and public attitudes since the referendum.
