Have voters changed their minds about Brexit?

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-43336351

However, is there any reason to believe the outcome might be different if the issue were to be put to voters once again?

After all, the result in June 2016 was relatively close - Leave won by 52% to 48% - so not many people would have to change their minds to produce a different verdict.

Polls that ask people how they would vote now in response to the question that appeared on the ballot paper in June 2016 have, in fact, been relatively few and far between.

But those that have been conducted suggest there may have been a small swing in favour of Remain.

Indeed much of the debate over this has focused on entrenching people in their views on the subject. Especially with the way that the Tory press shrieks at people who voted to leave the EU.

I think peoples views will only change once they start to experience first hand what a disaster this really is.
