Supporters of Brexit are more likely to vote in the forthcoming referendum which could give the Leave campaign a decisive edge in the final result, a new Telegraph poll suggests. Analysis of the survey by Sir Lynton Crosby shows that voters who want Britain to leave the European Union are more motivated than those who say they are in favour of staying in. Writing exclusively for The Telegraph, the electoral strategist who helped secure David Cameron’s surprise win last year, says that victory now hinges on whichever campaign inspires people to turn out and vote.
Sir Lynton says that the final outcome “is in the balance” and that the choice facing voters is whether the economic risks of remaining in the EU are bigger or smaller than the implications of uncontrolled immigration. He says that both campaigns should look to the impact of EU membership on public services if they are to convince the public of their arguments.
