Another poll, why not. 
Not so much about your voting intention, but your opinion on how the vote will go.

The last time people didn't know what they know now – I doubt whether there was any talk about loss of sovereignty, power for Germany to rule independent European nations, destruction of democracy, unlimited migration across completely open borders, etc. The illegal migrant ingress has exposed the EU for what it is, and highlighted how much we are spending on it (which is directly affecting our infrastructure, etc.). The EU is also patently dysfunctional and will collapse before very much longer anyway – best if we get out of it and protect ourselves before that happens.0 -

I'll vote remain and think remain will winI think Remain will win.
To get a vote against the status quo is pretty unusual and I reckon that Leave would need to be showing a pretty substantial lead in order to be able to make a reasonable claim that it has a good chance of succeeding. The fact is that it is highly likely that a fair few people, when they get to the ballot box, will change at the last moment to Remain. Also, I don't imagine that too many don't knows will be hoovered up by Leave. Surely if you want out of the EU then after 40 years you'd have a pretty good idea that is what you were going to do.
Also, looking at the possible costs versus the possible benefits, the EU simply isn't a repressive body. It doesn't stop you speaking English or supporting an English football team or singing folk songs or being Church of England. As a result it is going to be very hard to whip up that sort of nationalist fervour that could sweep Leave to victory.
Failing any last minute blow-up, I suspect Remain is going to win quite comfortably.0 -

Ah well. At least you'll still have something to blame your problems on.0 -

Last minute blow ups are possible on either side. The referendum has drawn together some strange bedfellows.
Corbyn, Sturgeon and Cameron or Johnson and Farage - all on the same side but unable to resist the opportunity to have a dig.0 -

I'll vote leave, and think remain will winNot enough people know enough about what they are voting for, hence I think they will just go with what they're told, which will sadly be the remain option
I think every poll i have looked at recently (although it may mean nothing) puts leave in the lead, but that's a different story come vote day0
