In = 52%
Out = 43%

By the way, a quote from the above

"In an analysis for the Telegraph, political strategist Sir Lynton Crosby suggests the Remain campaign has persuaded more voters of the case for staying in the EU"

Lynton Crosby ?.....now where have heard that name before ?

It is hardly a valid poll if it does not even say how many have voted and lets folk vote more than once.
I don't know what the 'In' brigade are so afraid of.
That was about the LBC poll by the way.
With so many undecided voters the message the polls are sending is, at best, that no-one has any real idea what the outcome will be. The poll cited in OP isn't really much of a poll anyway, as it's an opt-in rather than opt-out poll, ie only people who a) visit the website, and b) care about filling in check-boxes for the sake of it are likely to respond. One thing the Leave campaign has in abundance is passion for trying to get its voice heard as loudly as possible, and I suspect this is skewing the result massively.

But anyway. The biggest message the polls are sending are that supporters of both sides can't afford to forget to vote in the actual referendum. I'm not sure it's ever been truer that every vote will count.
I was just demonstrating that there are, and will be, lots of Polls and not all of them agree with AOG's.

One says, "you couldn't make it up", but apparently, jim360 has.
Believing in polls has proven to be very foolhardy.

Perhaps you couldn't find a poll with such a massive percentage for staying in?
Put it this way, AOG, do you seriously believe that this is a representative poll? It's not been conducted in any way according to typical polls, it's just a gimmick relying people to be interested enough to click one option or the other. No control over the survey sample implies that the results cannot possibly be taken as representative.
I found you one which was massively incorrect for the GE. Could,the one you posted possibly be as inaccurate?
ANOTHEOLDGIT, how many have voted in that LBC poll, a hundred or is it twenty thousand. How many have voted multiple times, fifty folk, hundreds?
AOG....I thought you had just done that at 12:58 !
Zacs (13:27)....to whom was your question addressed to ?
ANOTHEOLDGIT, here's a poll, "The survey of 773 companies questioned by polling company ComRes found that large organisations within the CBI were more likely than small and medium-sized companies to want to remain in the EU.
Overall, 5% of businesses that took part in the survey thought that it would be in their company's best interests for Britain to leave Europe while 15% were unsure."
AOG Mikey.
The LBC site has just allowed me to vote 10 times.
Which probably explains why it's poll result is so different from all the others.

If there is one thing that everyone seems to agree on, it is that the vote is too close to call. The LBC poll is just a worthless piece of junk.
Thanks Zacs...its sometime difficult to be sure.
