After a week of campaigning which Ukip leader Nigel Farage described as “an historic turning point”, an Opinium poll of 2,007 people revealed that 43 per cent back Leave while 40 per cent back Remain.
It follows an ICM poll on Monday last week which showed that 52 per cent backed Leave and 48 per cent Remain when the “don’t knows” were excluded.
The latest Opinium poll also suggests that after weeks of unleashing Project Fear tactics on the public, the Downing Street led Remain campaign has lost four points in the last fortnight.
And the announcement by Vote Leave leaders Boris Johnson and Michael Gove that they back Ukip’s plan for an Australian type points system for immigration appears to have gone down with voters who are naming it as the number one issue in the campaign.
According to the poll 41 per cent of respondents cited immigration as one of their two most important issues when deciding how to vote.
