MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to the latest poll by the ORB market research company conducted for The Telegraph, 55 percent of definite voters support the United Kingdom's continued EU membership, while 42 percent back Brexit.
The poll, held on May 18-22, exposed an even bigger 20-percent gap among all voters, with 58 percent in favor of Britain remaining part of the European Union. Just two months ago, the Leave campaign was behind by just 2 percent.
The UK Treasury warnings about the potential danger of leaving the single EU market and the fact that voters still view Brexit as a gamble are said to have contributed to the Remain campaign's latest gains.
The referendum on the United Kingdom's EU membership is scheduled for June 23. In February, Prime Minister David Cameron and the other EU leaders reached an agreement to grant the United Kingdom a special status within the bloc.
