    I am sure I have read this exact headline several times before. I guess it depends who is measuring and how

      Rejoin has been leading Stay Out for a long time (in the same way that Remain consistently led Leave from about mid-2017 onwards - which the government conveniently chose to ignore). Some pollsters in that time have also registered Rejoin going above 50%, recognising that about 15-20% say ‘Don’t Know’ so Rejoin can lead Stay Out significantly but still potentially be below 50%.

      But this is the first time Rejoin has exceeded 50% in YouGov poll, which is what they’re reporting.

      The typical poll over the last several months has been around 45-50% Rejoin vs 30-35% Stay Out.
