Obama fails to swing Britain behind EU as "Out" takes lead - YouGov poll indicates

LONDON, Apr 28 (Reuters) Opponents of Britain's European Union membership have edged into the lead over the past two weeks, according to a YouGov poll for The Times, indicating President Barack Obama may have failed to swing support behind "In" vote in a June 23 referendum.
The online survey taken on Monday and Tuesday showed support for the Out campaign had risen 3 percentage points to 42 per cent since a similar survey on April 12-14, while support for the "In" campaign had risen 1 percentage point to 41 per cent.
US President Barack Obama on Friday warned Britain would be "in the back of the queue" for a trade deal with the United States if it left the EU, an unusually strong intervention which "In" campaigners welcomed.
